Day 856
Day 856 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The gift-giver is revealed to be the least suspected resident, who is thanked with a modest ceremony. Bea Callahan was born to Rex Callahan and Sal Marino. Linus Tidewater was born to Flo Tidewater and Milo Ferris. 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.
