Day 3739
Day 3739 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. The tide is out further than usual. Hal Brody has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Founders Day Festival Approaches takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
