Day 4440
Day 4440 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The flour has arrived. The Bakery smells like itself again. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle have got into the habit of each other. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
