Day 5875
Day 5875 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Wren Gorse has hosted the thing they kept meaning to host. Fern Gorse has turned practising stories worth telling into a real part of life. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Pallet Of Paper Hats Delivery runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
