Day 3889
Day 3889 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. Whatever Opal Ferris and Fern Gorse were circling, they have landed on it. The tide is out further than usual. Alma Callahan has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
