Day 2856
Day 2856 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The tide is out further than usual. Mabel Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind. The route is tested by several residents at once, which slows everybody down. Alma Callahan was born to Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
