Day 1028
Day 1028 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Abel Callahan has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Bram Tidewater was born to Flo Tidewater and Milo Ferris. Hattie Whitlow was born to Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
