Day 5735
Day 5735 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Opal Ferris and Fern Gorse have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Perry Gorse's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Town Hall reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
