Day 3544
Day 3544 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The mackerel have moved on. Seahaven Springs will be eating fish for a week regardless. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
