Day 5559
Day 5559 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Cass Tanner is not brilliant at keeping a notebook about the pond, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Iris Brody has been elected to deal with it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
