Day 1713
Day 1713 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Jonah Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Marla Finch is not currently speaking to Ewan Callahan. Marla Finch 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. Everybody, Slightly Left runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
