Day 5851
Day 5851 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Wren Gorse has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Ewan Callahan and Silas Tidewater have cleared the air over a quiet chat. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
