Day 2870
Day 2870 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ewan Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Toby Tanner has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. 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.
