Day 5057
Day 5057 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Sal Marino has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris has turned sketching the shoreline into a real part of life. Iris Brody and Marla Finch have got into the habit of each other. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Square runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
