Day 287
Day 287 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Dot Ferris has been quiet lately, and keeps starting sentences she does not finish. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Case of the Missing Prize Pie reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

09:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
10:00The Bakery's fresh bread smell has reached the town square. Productivity plummets.
11:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
12:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
12:46Search parties fan out across town, checking porches, shops, and every unlikely corner.
13:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
14:00Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered.

17:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
18:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
19:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
19:22Fern Gorse and Gus Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
