Day 5488
Day 5488 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Hal Brody has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Elaine Whitlow is not currently speaking to Hal Brody. Perry Gorse is in Seahaven General after they twisted an ankle chasing a runaway shopping trolley. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
