Day 5238
Day 5238 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Ewan Callahan has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
