Day 5176
Day 5176 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The town clock is going again. It is four minutes fast, and the town has decided to live with that. Somebody has been asked to need Truman Beaumont's help with something small and absorbing. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
