Day 3411
Day 3411 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. The morning mail has arrived. Lark Ferris received a mysterious postcard. Hal Brody has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. What Our Song Actually Is runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
