Day 2266
Day 2266 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Jonah Ferris has come down with a headache that has outstayed its welcome and is being kept in for observation. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Hattie Whitlow 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.
