Day 5900
Day 5900 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Silas Tidewater has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Elaine Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
