Day 3505
Day 3505 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Jonah Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Linus Tidewater has got good enough at learning the orchard properly to be quietly smug about it. Flo Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
