Day 2100
Day 2100 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The town clock is going again. It is four minutes fast, and the town has decided to live with that. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Orchard Green Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
