Day 3996
Day 3996 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hattie Whitlow has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Ike Tidewater is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Bakery reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
