Day 5538
Day 5538 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The tide is out further than usual. Kip Doyle has gone to look at what it left behind. Bram Tidewater is not brilliant at sketching the shoreline, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Hattie Whitlow has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
