Day 1709
Day 1709 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. The tide is out further than usual. Milo Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
