Day 4201
Day 4201 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Truman Beaumont and Elaine Whitlow discover they are both entering the kite-flying contest. Bea Callahan is not brilliant at practising stories worth telling, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Iris Brody is in Seahaven General after they misjudged the last step of the Town Hall stairs. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Kite-Flying Rivalry takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
