Day 1852
Day 1852 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Sal Marino is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Dot Ferris has come down with a headache that has outstayed its welcome and is being kept in for observation. Cole Whitlow is not currently speaking to Orson Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
