Day 2023
Day 2023 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Elaine Whitlow has been elected to deal with it. The tide is out further than usual. Rue Callahan has gone to look at what it left behind. Ned Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. What Our Song Actually Is begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
