Day 4024
Day 4024 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Marla Finch has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Kip Doyle is not brilliant at keeping a notebook about the pond, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
