Day 782
Day 782 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hal Brody has come down with a case of the Seahaven sniffles and is being kept in for observation. The fog has lifted. The town looks slightly surprised to still be here. 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.
