Day 5351
Day 5351 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Jonah Ferris and Ned Ferris no longer need a reason to call round. Ike Tidewater is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. 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.
