Day 2499
Day 2499 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered. Gil Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
