Day 5696
Day 5696 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Bram Tidewater has come down with a bout of something going round the orchard and is being kept in for observation. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
