Day 3857
Day 3857 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Whatever Wilf Tanner and Perry Gorse were circling, they have landed on it. Iris Brody is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
