Day 5374
Day 5374 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Hal Brody has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Elaine Whitlow is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
