Day 1732
Day 1732 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Marla Finch has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Orson Ferris runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
