Day 5234
Day 5234 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have got into the habit of each other. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
