Day 4495
Day 4495 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hattie Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
