Day 3607
Day 3607 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The mackerel have moved on. Seahaven Springs will be eating fish for a week regardless. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Founders Day Festival Approaches has the whole town talking. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
