Day 955
Day 955 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. [CONTROL] Flo Tidewater has been flagged. She has started to find it difficult, and she is close enough to Truman Beaumont for that to matter. Kip Doyle has turned practising stories worth telling into a real part of life. A rumour goes round that somebody official will be inspecting something, soon. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
