Day 5766
Day 5766 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Mabel Tidewater has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris no longer need a reason to call round. 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.
