Day 5650
Day 5650 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Silas Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Dot Ferris has kept at keeping a notebook about the pond long enough that the town expects it now. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
