Day 5957
Day 5957 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Hattie Whitlow has explained the tides three times, differently each time. The tide is out further than usual. Ned Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Box Of Left Boots Delivery runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
