Day 5387
Day 5387 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The town clock is going again. It is four minutes fast, and the town has decided to live with that. The tide is out further than usual. Dot Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind. Bea Callahan is not brilliant at learning the orchard properly, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
