Day 5921
Day 5921 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The orchard has produced more than anybody knows what to do with. There are apples on doorsteps, unasked for and unavoidable. The tide is out further than usual. someone has gone to look at what it left behind. Elaine Whitlow is not brilliant at learning the orchard properly, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
