Day 2554
Day 2554 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The swans have moved on, having accepted a great deal of bread and given nothing back. Opal Ferris has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now. Perry Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
