Day 5847
Day 5847 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ike Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Ned Ferris has kept at practising stories worth telling long enough that the town expects it now. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Silas Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
