Day 961
Day 961 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Iris Brody is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
