Day 4231
Day 4231 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. A small commotion has been arranged on the far side of town. Truman Beaumont is already walking towards it. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
