Day 3963
Day 3963 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Gil Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
