Day 295
Day 295 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. 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. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
