Day 4728

Day 4728 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Sal Marino and Rex Callahan have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Dell Tanner is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
