Day 3140
Day 3140 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Rex Callahan has got good enough at practising stories worth telling to be quietly smug about it. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. Word goes round that someone is coming to Seahaven Springs. Nobody is sure who. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
