Day 5518
Day 5518 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Cole Whitlow has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. The tide is out further than usual. Dell Tanner has gone to look at what it left behind. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
