Day 5740
Day 5740 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Dot Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The Anchor's piano is being played by Lark Ferris, who cannot play piano. Dot Ferris and Perry Gorse have cleared the air over a quiet chat. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Bakery reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
