Day 772
Day 772 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Jonah Ferris was born to Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
