Day 4794
Day 4794 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Dell Tanner has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
