Day 4710
Day 4710 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Cole 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. Iris Brody and Marla Finch have got into the habit of each other. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
