Day 5308
Day 5308 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. It is too hot in Seahaven Springs. The tarmac on Front Street has gone soft and the Sunrise Café has put its chairs in the shade. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered. 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.
