Day 4785
Day 4785 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. A sea fog has come in over Seahaven Springs and shows no sign of leaving. The lighthouse can be heard but not seen. Ewan Callahan has kept at practising stories worth telling long enough that the town expects it now. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Sea Glass Season runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
