Day 788
Day 788 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Jonah Ferris is officially toddling and into everything. Founders Park will never be the same. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. The tide is out further than usual. Marla Finch has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
