Day 2887
Day 2887 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The tide is out further than usual. Hal Brody has gone to look at what it left behind. Edie Gorse is expecting a baby with Ewan Callahan. 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.
