Day 984
Day 984 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The fair is over and the bunting is down. Two flags remain, and will remain, in a tree. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. A seagull has stolen Bea Callahan's sandwich near the dock. Again. 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.
