Day 2857
Day 2857 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Bram Tidewater has hosted the thing they kept meaning to host. Whatever Edie Gorse and Bea Callahan were circling, they have landed on it. Alma Callahan was born to Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
