Day 3731
Day 3731 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hattie Whitlow has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. The visit is postponed indefinitely. The cake is eaten by the welcoming committee. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
