Rapunzel and the Happy Sun Meet the Funny Alien

SF short story, about 3100 words, completed and submitted - with the as always invaluable help of critters. Spotted the opportunity just after I'd completed the novel and declared a holiday from writing. Spend most of the holiday either actually writing, or researching stuff for writing projects. I am incorrigible. Also, I am now pretty certain, menopausal. Thank heavens that's over with.
