Day 4568
Day 4568 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Gil Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. One small Seahaven question is settled, and Fern Gorse is already eyeing another. Iris Brody is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Promenade reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
