Day 3470
Day 3470 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Lark Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Bev Tanner is grieving Toby Tanner. Orson Ferris is grieving Toby Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
