Day 4251
Day 4251 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Linus Tidewater and Lark Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Linus Tidewater. Lark 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. The Book Nobody Finished runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
