Day 5002
Day 5002 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ewan Callahan has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Opal Ferris is not brilliant at learning the orchard properly, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
