Day 4694
Day 4694 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bea Callahan has kept at learning the orchard properly long enough that the town expects it now. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Wilf Tanner is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. 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.
