Day 4454
Day 4454 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Flo Ferris and Bram Tidewater have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. The tide is out further than usual. Flo Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind. Nobody can establish what is being inspected, or by whom, or when. 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.
