Day 5186
Day 5186 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The fog has lifted. The town looks slightly surprised to still be here. Cole Whitlow has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. What Our Song Actually Is runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
