Day 5335
Day 5335 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Dell Tanner has come down with a very sore back and is being kept in for observation. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Edie Gorse has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Box Of Left Boots Delivery runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
