Day 5427
Day 5427 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Nell Tidewater has grown up and started at Beaumont & Tanner Insurance. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
