Day 2156
Day 2156 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Sal Marino has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. It is too hot in Seahaven Springs. The tarmac on Front Street has gone soft and the Sunrise Café has put its chairs in the shade. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
18:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
