Day 3286
Day 3286 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Lark Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Jonah Ferris. Hattie Whitlow is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. 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.
