In this tight economy any job is a good job. Percy felt
lucky to get the farm job for summer. He needed the money for when he went back
to college in the fall. The work was hard, but satisfying. Every day was
different and brought new challenges. It made the time go by fast.
Farming has risks today that never existed before. Certain
hybrid crops are infused with unique compounds to achieve higher yields. The
latest alfalfa fields used the most advanced genetics ever used in farming. It
is important for all people to stay away from the field when it was in bloom.
The boss forgot to tell Percy.
During breaks Percy walked the back fields and fencerows of
the farm. Percy knew not to walk in the alfalfa field in full bloom. So he
walked along the edge admiring the deep purple flowers of the plants. A light
breeze blew across the field and towards Percy. He breathed in deep the
wonderful smell of the flowers.
By the time a farmhand saw Percy next to the alfalfa field
it was too late. Percy looked down at his body and screeched. He ran back to the
barn where he was told the alfalfa is using nanobots to increase yields and
that the nanobots are the same as the transgender nanobots. The nanobots are
only dangerous when the plant is in bloom.
Percy changed his name to Sally and stayed working on the
farm. There was plenty of work on a farm, even for girls. When it came time to
head back to college, Sally knew she would have some explaining to do. In the
end college was okay. She made new friends and starting dating her best friend.
It was somewhat odd, but they knew so much about each other they made the
perfect match.
