Day 1098
Day 1098 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Milo Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Lark Ferris is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

00:00Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill.
07:00The tide is out further than usual. Milo Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind.
07:36Iris Brody's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches.
08:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
09:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
13:00Jonah Ferris has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
13:02Truman Beaumont has a plan. Dot Ferris has questions.
14:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.

17:00A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life.
18:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
18:00Truman Beaumont has taken the seat by the window with a view of the whole room. He does not usually.
20:58Percy has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
21:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
22:08Ewan Callahan is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Fern Gorse and Lark Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy".
23:00Sheriff Brody has invited Lark Ferris to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
