Day 2790
Day 2790 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Hal Brody has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
