Day 2831
Day 2831 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Toby Tanner is in Seahaven General after they lost a disagreement with a deckchair on the promenade. Alma Callahan was born to Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater. 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.
