Day 3293

Day 3293 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The orchard has produced more than anybody knows what to do with. There are apples on doorsteps, unasked for and unavoidable. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Apple Harvest reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
