Day 5515
Day 5515 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The mackerel are running off Seahaven Point. The dock has acquired a row of buckets and an atmosphere of quiet competition. Mabel Tidewater has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early. Elaine Whitlow called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
