A mere puff, but a pungent one. ( )

A very quick and fun read about onions and tears, and about how doing good for society can have some serious consequences. ;-)

This very short text can be found on Ann Leckie's website: http://annleckie.com/onion.html. ( )

A plant breeder designs an onion that doesn’t make you cry when you cut it, but instead invokes other emotions… with unforseen consequences. Very cute, and I liked the image of teenagers having parties to get high off the hysterical giggling one of the onions produced.
