Day 3578
Day 3578 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bea Callahan has come down with a cough with genuine ambition and is being kept in for observation. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Jonah Ferris. Jonah Ferris 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. Whose Ladder Is This reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
