Day 3053
Day 3053 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Perry Gorse has come down with a spectacular head cold and is being kept in for observation. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Sunrise CafÉ reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
