Day 5686
Day 5686 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

19:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
