Day 1369
Day 1369 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Nothing has happened in Seahaven Springs for three days. The Sheriff is restless. Orson Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Ewan Callahan is being kept in overnight with a spectacular head cold. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
