Day 271
Day 271 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Dot Ferris has been quiet lately, and keeps starting sentences she does not finish. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
