Day 891
Day 891 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Abel Callahan has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. Bea Callahan was born to Rex Callahan and Sal Marino. Linus Tidewater was born to Flo Tidewater and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
