Day 4650
Day 4650 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hattie Whitlow has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly. The tide is out further than usual. Marla Finch has gone to look at what it left behind. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. 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.
