Day 811
Day 811 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Milo Ferris. Rex Callahan is expecting a baby with Sal Marino. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
