Day 3886
Day 3886 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Abel Callahan has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. Iris Brody has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early. A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
