Day 3249
Day 3249 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Cole Whitlow has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Hattie Whitlow is not currently speaking to Ned Ferris. Hattie Whitlow 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.
