Day 3962
Day 3962 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Iris Brody is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. The tide is out further than usual. Marla Finch has gone to look at what it left behind. 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.
