Day 794
Day 794 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Truman Beaumont Challenges Elaine Whitlow To Rainy Rematch At Miller's Pond Bench. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
