Day 941
Day 941 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Cole Whitlow was born to Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
