Day 5091 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Edie Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Ewan Callahan is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. Nell Tidewater was born to Mabel Tidewater and Dell Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman.
