Day 5664
Day 5664 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Bev Tanner has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before. One small Seahaven question is settled, and Hal Brody is already eyeing another. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
