Day 3964
Day 3964 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The town clock has stopped at twenty past four. Nobody can agree on when it happened, which is itself a problem of some irony. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
