Day 1862
Day 1862 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Linus Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
