Day 5454
Day 5454 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Hal Brody has come down with a case of the Seahaven sniffles and is being kept in for observation. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. Flo Ferris has hosted the thing they kept meaning to host. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Seed Loaf Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
