Day 3424

Day 3424 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Abel Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Marla Finch's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches. Dell Tanner noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
