Day 1988
Day 1988 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Opal Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Ned Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. 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.
