Day 2794
Day 2794 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Linus Tidewater is not currently speaking to Dell Tanner. Dell Tanner 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 runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
