Day 3531
Day 3531 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The town clock has stopped at twenty past four. Nobody can agree on when it happened, which is itself a problem of some irony. Perry Gorse called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. What Our Song Actually Is runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
