Day 5761
Day 5761 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Linus Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The town clock is going again. It is four minutes fast, and the town has decided to live with that. Hattie Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
