Day 283
Day 283 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Pearl Gorse has moved away to take a position inland. It was all very sudden, and the removal van came at first light. 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. The Anonymous Good Deed reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
