Day 4467
Day 4467 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The glut is over. Seahaven Springs will be eating crumble until further notice. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Fern Gorse has got good enough at practising stories worth telling to be quietly smug about it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
