Day 5457
Day 5457 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Posy Gorse has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. A ladder has been leaning against the wrong building for a week. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
