Day 5239
Day 5239 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Wren Gorse has hosted the thing they kept meaning to host. Dot Ferris nearly answered Truman Beaumont early, and turned it into a cough. 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.
