Day 742
Day 742 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Marla Finch has found her weeks unaccountably full. Marla Finch is in Seahaven General after they lost a disagreement with a deckchair on the promenade. 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.
