Day 5567
Day 5567 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris no longer need a reason to call round. Opal Ferris and Fern Gorse no longer need a reason to call round. The tide is out further than usual. Edie Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
