Day 4628
Day 4628 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Whatever Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle were circling, they have landed on it. Bram Tidewater's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about. 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.
