Day 1742
Day 1742 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. 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.
