Day 5608
Day 5608 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Iris Brody has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater no longer need a reason to call round. The tide is out further than usual. Hattie Whitlow has gone to look at what it left behind. 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.
