Day 5294
Day 5294 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Opal Ferris has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do. Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. 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.
