Day 2304
Day 2304 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hal Brody has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. The tide is out further than usual. Marla Finch has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
