Day 4898
Day 4898 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
