Day 285
Day 285 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. A new story begins: The Case of the Missing Prize Pie. 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 Case of the Missing Prize Pie runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
