Day 5401
Day 5401 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ike Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Linus Tidewater and Bea Callahan no longer need a reason to call round. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
