Day 3979
Day 3979 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Lark Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Wren Gorse's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about. The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
