Day 1293
Day 1293 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The fair is over and the bunting is down. Two flags remain, and will remain, in a tree. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Toby Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Case of the Missing Town Hall Stapler reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
