Day 1671
Day 1671 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Case of the Wandering Ladder: Officially Closed, Sheriff Confirms. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Fern Gorse. Dot 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. Whose Ladder Is This reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
