Day 2224
Day 2224 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bram Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Marla Finch is not currently speaking to Rex Callahan. 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.
