Day 5893
Day 5893 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Whatever Opal Ferris and Fern Gorse were circling, they have landed on it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
