Day 981

Day 981 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. It's official: Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan are a couple. The café has opinions. Bunting has gone up across Founders Park. The fair is on, and the committee is being very firm about the bunting. The tide is out further than usual. Iris Brody has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
