Day 2827
Day 2827 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Bea Callahan is a delighted new parent. Linus Tidewater is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
