Day 5549
Day 5549 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. A sea fog has come in over Seahaven Springs and shows no sign of leaving. The lighthouse can be heard but not seen. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
