Day 2942
Day 2942 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Kip Doyle has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do. The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route. Wren Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. 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.
