Day 2275
Day 2275 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The town clock is going again. It is four minutes fast, and the town has decided to live with that. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater no longer need a reason to call round. 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.
