Day 4990
Day 4990 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Iris Brody has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Wilf Tanner. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
