Day 957
Day 957 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Nobody can establish what is being inspected, or by whom, or when. Rex Callahan has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. Elaine Whitlow is in Seahaven General after they came off worse in an argument with a garden gnome and a flowerbed. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
