Day 4356
Day 4356 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Gil Ferris has got good enough at practising stories worth telling to be quietly smug about it. Truman Beaumont pretends not to have noticed the whispering, which is generous of them. The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Truman Beaumont reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
