Day 4891
Day 4891 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fern Gorse has turned practising stories worth telling into a real part of life. A drip has appeared in the ceiling at the bakery. A bucket is deployed. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Bakery runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
