Day 5986
Day 5986 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. The clock is left exactly as it is. Being early becomes a local custom. 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.
