Day 3044
Day 3044 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fern Gorse has turned sketching the shoreline into a real part of life. Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning. Lark Ferris's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Box Of Left Boots Delivery takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

13:45Truman Beaumont refuses to sign for it. Iris Brody has already signed for it.
14:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
15:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
16:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
16:00The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route.

22:03Iris Brody has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.
22:10Gil Ferris is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
23:50Sal Marino has got good enough at learning the orchard properly to be quietly smug about it.
