Day 1784
Day 1784 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The tide is out further than usual. Kip Doyle has gone to look at what it left behind. Sheriff Brody seen off-duty and unhurried for once, right by that famous bench. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Square reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
