Day 3582
Day 3582 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ned Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
