Day 5018
Day 5018 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Iris Brody is not currently speaking to Linus Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Barrel Of Vinegar Delivery runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
