Day 3927
Day 3927 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Wilf Tanner has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Gil Ferris has come down with a mystery rash nobody can identify and is being kept in for observation. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
