Day 5285
Day 5285 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Opal Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Whatever Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle were circling, they have landed on it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
