Day 3602
Day 3602 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Truman Beaumont takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
