Day 2791
Day 2791 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Orson Ferris and Abel Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over a disputed game of dominoes. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Orson Ferris. 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.
