Day 4608
Day 4608 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Jonah Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Ned Ferris's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches. Marla Finch has turned sketching the shoreline into a real part of life. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
