Day 1798
Day 1798 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Jonah Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Abel Callahan has turned sketching the shoreline into a real part of life. Rex Callahan is not currently speaking to Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
