Day 2718
Day 2718 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Toby Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Bea Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Lemon Tart Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
