Day 4868
Day 4868 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Cass Tanner has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Lark Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Silas Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Loaf That Cannot Be Repeated takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
