Day 3710
Day 3710 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ike Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Opal Ferris has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Battle of the Noticeboard runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
