Day 2590
Day 2590 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. The bench at the promenade has been moved four feet. Nobody will admit to moving it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Promenade runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
