Day 5475
Day 5475 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Seahaven Springs has been broadcasting for 15 years. Nobody in it has been told, and the town is asleep. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Fireworks over Founders Park. Seahaven Springs is seeing in its 15 years, and does not know why the producers insisted. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
