Day 3643
Day 3643 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Iris Brody is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The town clock has stopped at twenty past four. Nobody can agree on when it happened, which is itself a problem of some irony. The tide is out further than usual. Perry Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
