Day 5865
Day 5865 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Edie Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Ike Tidewater is not currently speaking to Nell Tidewater. Ike Tidewater 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. The Bench at The Square takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
