Day 4518
Day 4518 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Fern Gorse has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Gil Ferris is in Seahaven General after they twisted an ankle chasing a runaway shopping trolley. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
