Day 1453
Day 1453 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
