Day 4088
Day 4088 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Whatever Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow were circling, they have landed on it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
