Day 3549
Day 3549 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Perry Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
