Day 4048
Day 4048 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Cass Tanner and Bev Tanner have got into the habit of each other. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Box Of Left Boots Delivery runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
