Day 2473
Day 2473 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning. Gil Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Sea Glass Season runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
