Day 3365
Day 3365 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Wilf Tanner is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Bram Tidewater is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Ned Ferris is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. 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.
