Day 5222
Day 5222 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Truman Beaumont runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
