Day 2372
Day 2372 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ewan Callahan has come down with a cough with genuine ambition and is being kept in for observation. Cole Whitlow is not currently speaking to Opal Ferris. Mabel Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
