Day 5403
Day 5403 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Edie Gorse got bowled over by an over-enthusiastic seagull and is spending a few days in Seahaven General. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Hal Brody. Edie Gorse is in Seahaven General after they got bowled over by an over-enthusiastic seagull. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
