Day 5923
Day 5923 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Dot Ferris has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do. The tide is out further than usual. Dot Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind. 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.
