Day 4630
Day 4630 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The tide is out further than usual. Kip Doyle has gone to look at what it left behind. The morning mail has arrived. Ewan Callahan received a mysterious postcard. The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
