Day 593
Day 593 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Edie Gorse has come down with a case of the Seahaven sniffles. Dr. Pratt is keeping them in for observation. Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
