Day 724
Day 724 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Marla Finch has found her weeks unaccountably full. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Gull Grey Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
