Day 977
Day 977 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Elaine Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Edie Gorse has been seen walking out with Ewan Callahan. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
