Day 2688
Day 2688 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Ike Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
