Day 4204
Day 4204 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fern Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Linus Tidewater has kept at practising stories worth telling long enough that the town expects it now. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Plum Harvest runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
