Day 5988
Day 5988 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The tide is out further than usual. Marla Finch has gone to look at what it left behind. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Crossword Rivalry takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
