Day 975
Day 975 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bertram, an old friend of Bev Tanner, is in Seahaven Springs for a few days. They have not seen each other in years, apparently. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Bertram is staying with Bev Tanner for a few days. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
