Day 5868
Day 5868 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The tide is out further than usual. Marla Finch has gone to look at what it left behind. Cole Whitlow has kept at sketching the shoreline long enough that the town expects it now. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
