Day 3884
Day 3884 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Kip Doyle has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now. Wren Gorse's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about. The tide is out further than usual. Ewan Callahan has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
