Day 3893

Day 3893 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Ned Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
