Day 2682
Day 2682 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The tide is out further than usual. Ike Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Ike Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. 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.
