Day 288
Day 288 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Elaine Whitlow has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. 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.
