Day 5969
Day 5969 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bram Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Bram Tidewater. Bram 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 Lemon Tart Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
