Day 2146
Day 2146 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Opal Ferris has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Toby Tanner. 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.
