Day 3374
Day 3374 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The tide is out further than usual. someone has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Barrel Of Vinegar Delivery runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
