Day 298
Day 298 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fern Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. 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. Something in the Pond takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

00:00Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster.
04:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
09:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
11:47Sal Marino arrives with a net, a bucket, and a theory nobody asked for.
13:00Fern Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
14:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
16:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
19:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Gus denies everything.
20:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
