Day 987
Day 987 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Lark Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
