Day 3997
Day 3997 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Wren Gorse has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Fern Gorse and Opal Ferris no longer need a reason to call round. Ike Tidewater 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.
