Day 2606
Day 2606 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Truman Beaumont is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow have got into the habit of each other. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
