Day 4554
Day 4554 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Kip Doyle has come down with a bout of something going round the orchard and is being kept in for observation. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. Ike Tidewater is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Promenade runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
