Day 2869
Day 2869 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ewan Callahan has come down with a touch of whatever half the town already had and is being kept in for observation. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Toby Tanner. Alma Callahan was born to Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
