Day 5225
Day 5225 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Gil Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. 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 reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
