Day 4954
Day 4954 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Kip Doyle has come down with a case of the Seahaven sniffles and is being kept in for observation. The tide is out further than usual. Sal Marino has gone to look at what it left behind. Perry Gorse is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
