Day 5641
Day 5641 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Whatever Nell Tidewater and Mabel Tidewater were circling, they have landed on it. Iris Brody and Marla Finch have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. 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.
