Day 5244
Day 5244 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ned Ferris and Kip Doyle have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Perry Gorse and Truman Beaumont have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
