Day 5543

Day 5543 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The orchard has produced more than anybody knows what to do with. There are apples on doorsteps, unasked for and unavoidable. Wren Gorse and Edie Gorse have got into the habit of each other. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
