Day 2588
Day 2588 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The mackerel are running off Seahaven Point. The dock has acquired a row of buckets and an atmosphere of quiet competition. Whatever Linus Tidewater and Bea Callahan were circling, they have landed on it. Perry Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
