Day 4919
Day 4919 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. Opal Ferris has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
