Day 5022
Day 5022 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Perry Gorse has come down with a spectacular head cold and is being kept in for observation. The swans have moved on, having accepted a great deal of bread and given nothing back. Wilf Tanner is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
