Day 4564
Day 4564 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hal Brody has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Promenade begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

17:00A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life.
18:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
