Day 2196
Day 2196 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Whatever Linus Tidewater and Bea Callahan were circling, they have landed on it. Abel Callahan has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. Hal Brody has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Orchard Gate reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
