Day 4983
Day 4983 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Iris Brody onto the water. Iris Brody has not noticed. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Ike Tidewater is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
