Day 2859
Day 2859 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Alma Callahan was born to Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
