Day 3419
Day 3419 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The Sheriff declares the town safe and returns to the crossword. And so concludes: A Quiet Week for the Sheriff. The town will live with how it ended. Wren Gorse is being kept in overnight with a headache that has outstayed its welcome. 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.
