Day 5611
Day 5611 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. Dell Tanner fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
