Day 797
Day 797 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Hal Brody has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Abel Callahan 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. Something in the Pond runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

18:00A seagull has stolen Rex Callahan's sandwich near the dock. Again.
19:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
20:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
21:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
