Day 4970
Day 4970 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The fair is over and the bunting is down. Two flags remain, and will remain, in a tree. The tide is out further than usual. Silas Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
