Day 4427
Day 4427 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Linus Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The town clock has stopped at twenty past four. Nobody can agree on when it happened, which is itself a problem of some irony. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Bakery runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
