Day 2493
Day 2493 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Orson Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Orson Ferris is not currently speaking to Opal Ferris. Gil Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. 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.
