Day 316
Day 316 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Elaine Whitlow 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. The Leak at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
