Day 1643
Day 1643 brought rain and rainbows in equal measure to Seahaven Springs, as the tide went out and the town's mysterious seagulls went about their thieving business with practiced efficiency. By evening, The Anchor had filled with the usual Friday warmth—Truman raised a glass to the very concept of Thursdays, Elaine and Lark taught songs without choruses to anyone who would listen, and somewhere behind the bar, someone quietly rearranged Ewan Callahan's drink while he remained blissfully unaware. The town ladder continues its mysterious journey from porch to porch, the clocks remain engaged in their two-minute disagreement, and somewhere in town, a garden gnome has taken up residence on yet another new porch, its journey ongoing and its motives unknown.
