Day 2612
Day 2612 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The tide is out further than usual. Hal Brody has gone to look at what it left behind. Linus Tidewater and Bea Callahan have got into the habit of each other. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Truman Beaumont runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
