Day 5481
Day 5481 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nell Tidewater has kept at practising stories worth telling long enough that the town expects it now. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Loaf That Cannot Be Repeated runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
