Day 5507
Day 5507 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The Sheriff declares the town safe and returns to the crossword. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Flo Ferris 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
