Day 784
Day 784 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. 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 takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
