Day 5317
Day 5317 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
