Day 2276
Day 2276 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Orson Ferris and Fern Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over a disputed game of dominoes. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Orson Ferris. Fern Gorse 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. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
