The Hundred-Point Child
Rating: PG-13
Warning(s): child abuse mentions, child neglect mentions
Summary: Couples receive “parent points”, which they can use to purchase their children. Most parents wait for a few thousand, but the Carsons didn't want to wait. They chose to buy the cheaper, hundred-point child.
Author's Notes: Written in response to this prompt on Tumblr.
This story got a big reception on Tumblr. Huge. Much bigger than I expected. I wrote it in mid-December 2016, in a fit of inspiration, over the course of an hour or so. I made some minor edits (the text is still ~99.5% the same as it was when I first banged it out) just for tidiness and clarity and present it here.
