Day 2271
Day 2271 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fern Gorse has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. 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 Sea Glass Season runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
