Day 978
Day 978 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bertram caught the early bus out. Bev Tanner waved for slightly too long. Edie Gorse has been seen walking out with Ewan Callahan. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Bertram caught the early bus out. Bev Tanner waved for slightly too long.
08:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
08:40Flo Tidewater has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now.
09:00Truman Beaumont has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
10:00The morning mail has arrived. Milo Ferris received a mysterious postcard.
11:00Lark Ferris has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
12:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
12:12The route is tested by several residents at once, which slows everybody down.
13:00Fern Gorse nearly answered Truman Beaumont early, and turned it into a cough.
16:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
16:00Flo Tidewater called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
16:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
17:00A studio lamp came loose and struck the road beside Truman Beaumont. Control has logged it as "debris".
17:04Truman Beaumont and Hal Brody kept their word and finished what they started.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
18:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
19:40Hal Brody has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
20:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
21:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
21:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
22:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
22:27Fern Gorse has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
23:03Rex has quietly moved Rex Callahan onto the water. Rex Callahan has not noticed.
