Day 5547
Day 5547 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The glut is over. Seahaven Springs will be eating crumble until further notice. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Marla Finch has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
