Day 359
Day 359 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Marla Finch 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 found her weeks unaccountably full. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
