Day 5849
Day 5849 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The Sheriff declares the town safe and returns to the crossword. Ike Tidewater is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Wren 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
