Day 1779
Day 1779 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Opal Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Square runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
