Day 5965
Day 5965 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Ewan Callahan has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
