Day 2220
Day 2220 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Marla Finch has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. The morning mail has arrived. Bram Tidewater received a mysterious postcard. 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.
