Day 3898
Day 3898 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Sunrise CafÉ runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
