Day 1656
Day 1656 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. BREAKING: Truman Beaumont and Sheriff Brody open a formal 'Ladder Ledger' investigation. Kip Doyle is not brilliant at practising stories worth telling, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Wilf Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
