Day 5240
Day 5240 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The tide is out further than usual. Kip Doyle has gone to look at what it left behind. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
