Day 2559
Day 2559 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. Perry Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Harbour Blue Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
