Day 4210

Day 4210 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Kip Doyle has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
