Day 982
Day 982 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Elaine Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Sheriff Brody photographed sitting still for over ten consecutive minutes. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
