Day 1624
Day 1624 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The morning mail has arrived. Hal Brody received a mysterious postcard. A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life. Wilf Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
