Day 2487
Day 2487 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Truman Beaumont and Elaine Whitlow discover they are both entering the sandcastle contest. The morning mail has arrived. Hal Brody received a mysterious postcard. Gil Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Sandcastle Rivalry takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
