Day 3839
Day 3839 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Mabel Tidewater is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. 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.
