Day 4316
Day 4316 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hattie Whitlow has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The town clock is going again. It is four minutes fast, and the town has decided to live with that. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. 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.
