Day 4246
Day 4246 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Alma Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Whatever Wren Gorse and Edie Gorse were circling, they have landed on it. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
