Day 4000
Day 4000 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Alma Callahan has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Perry Gorse fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
