Day 1253
Day 1253 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Bram Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Opal Ferris was born to Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Sea Glass Season reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
