Day 4555
Day 4555 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Kip Doyle has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Ike Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Promenade takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
