Day 5487
Day 5487 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Elaine Whitlow is not currently speaking to Hal Brody. Gil Ferris is in Seahaven General after they slipped on the wet planks down at the dock. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
