Day 2143
Day 2143 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
