Day 2617
Day 2617 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The swans have moved on, having accepted a great deal of bread and given nothing back. learning the orchard properly has stopped being something Dot Ferris is trying, and become something they do. Opal Ferris is not currently speaking to Rue Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
