Day 1418
Day 1418 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Nothing has happened in Seahaven Springs for three days. The Sheriff is restless. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
