Day 5860
Day 5860 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Silas Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
