Day 2501
Day 2501 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. The morning mail has arrived. Linus Tidewater 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
