Day 5853
Day 5853 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
