Day 3960
Day 3960 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The glut is over. Seahaven Springs will be eating crumble until further notice. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Opal Ferris has got good enough at practising stories worth telling to be quietly smug about it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
