Day 5982
Day 5982 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The tide is out further than usual. Bev Tanner has gone to look at what it left behind. She used a word she should not know. Control has cut to the harbour for a moment. A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way. 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.
