Day 1982
Day 1982 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Edie Gorse has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. Ned Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
