Day 983

Day 983 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Rematch at Founders Park: napkin route vs. rose bushes, round two. The tide is out further than usual. someone has gone to look at what it left behind. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. 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.
