Day 5209
Day 5209 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Abel Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The contest ends in a tie. A rematch is scheduled for next season. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. 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.
