Day 3427
Day 3427 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Orson Ferris and Dell Tanner have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. 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.
