Day 5497
Day 5497 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The tide is out further than usual. Hal Brody has gone to look at what it left behind. Linus Tidewater has kept at practising stories worth telling long enough that the town expects it now. The morning mail has arrived. Truman Beaumont received a mysterious postcard. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Buttermilk Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
