Day 5775
Day 5775 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Wren Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Cole Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Perry Gorse is in Seahaven General after they got bowled over by an over-enthusiastic seagull. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
