Day 272
Day 272 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
