Excerpt:
The Contest Chevelure was a time-honored competition held in a modest town in the middle of a modest country. It was a contest to see who could have the most extravagant and beautiful head of hair. Only, there was one notable detail. None of the people in the town had any hair on their heads.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. Center bottom third, a figure facing forward, seen from shoulders up, wearing a scarf around the neck and a fitted coat. Her head is tilted up and her left hand is extended up, index finger pointing up, and other fingers held loosely. She has no hair, but a set of spiraling horns emerging from the top of her head and extending up through the top two-thirds of the image.\\xa0 A second set of shorter spiraling horns extend from the back of her head. She stands beneath a starry sky.\\xa0 A falling star streaks across that sky from upper right to lower left, just between the span of her horns.
