Day 3498
Day 3498 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Elaine Whitlow has been elected to deal with it. Flo Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
