Day 4843
Day 4843 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Wren Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Silas Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
