Day 3361
Day 3361 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Whatever Jonah Ferris and Ned Ferris were circling, they have landed on it. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. 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.
