Day 4179
Day 4179 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Milo Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Perry Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The tide is out further than usual. Perry Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
