Day 5365
Day 5365 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ned Ferris has come down with a bout of something going round the orchard and is being kept in for observation. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Silas Tidewater. Edie Gorse is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Truman Beaumont runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
