Day 1140
Day 1140 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Linus Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The Bakery's flour delivery has not arrived. Kip is rationing, with the grim dignity of a man rationing something he baked himself. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00The Bakery's flour delivery has not arrived. Kip is rationing, with the grim dignity of a man rationing something he baked himself.
00:00Douglas has gone home again, leaving behind a cardigan and a standing invitation nobody is sure was serious.
00:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
03:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
07:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
09:00The tide is out further than usual. Bram Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
10:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
11:00Linus Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
11:04Sal Marino and Rex Callahan have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
12:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
14:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
14:00A studio lamp came loose and struck the road beside Truman Beaumont. Control has logged it as "debris".
14:14Lark Ferris suggests the lock was thrown out years ago, which is unbearable.
15:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
15:00A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life.
17:00Every car, gull and passer-by around Truman Beaumont paused at once, as though waiting for a cue.
18:00Dot Ferris has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
18:00Truman Beaumont has taken a route home that is twice as long, and stopped twice on the way.
18:40Fern Gorse and Edie Gorse kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
21:00Ewan Callahan fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed.
21:59Truman Beaumont is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
