Day 4590
Day 4590 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fern Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Jonah Ferris is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. 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.
