Day 4867
Day 4867 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Cass Tanner is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. Silas Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Loaf That Cannot Be Repeated runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
