Day 4456
Day 4456 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Ned Ferris is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Sandcastle Regatta Approaches runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
