Day 5511
Day 5511 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Edie Gorse has hosted the thing they kept meaning to host. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
