Day 5640
Day 5640 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Dot Ferris and Perry Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over a disputed game of dominoes. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. Perry 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. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
