Day 4992
Day 4992 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The tide is out further than usual. Hal Brody has gone to look at what it left behind. Abel Callahan and Perry Gorse have cleared the air over a quiet chat. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Wilf Tanner. 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.
