Day 5399
Day 5399 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ewan Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Ike Tidewater is not currently speaking to Alma Callahan. Ike Tidewater 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 Key, and No Lock begins. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
