Day 5444
Day 5444 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Nothing has happened in Seahaven Springs for three days. The Sheriff is restless. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Edie Gorse is not currently speaking to Iris Brody. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
