Day 3760
Day 3760 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Cole Whitlow fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed. Linus Tidewater's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches. The morning mail has arrived. Gil Ferris received a mysterious postcard. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
