Day 5104
Day 5104 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Cole Whitlow has come down with a case of the Seahaven sniffles and is being kept in for observation. Jonah Ferris is not currently speaking to Opal Ferris. Jonah 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
