Day 783
Day 783 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Hal Brody has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. 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.
