Day 5978
Day 5978 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Edie Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Jonah Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Seahaven Bake-Off Approaches has the whole town talking. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
