The story
On her eighteenth birthday, Irene's parents rate her zero at a family dinner and declare they have no use for her, praising Alyssa, the cousin living in their guest room, as a perfect ten. The next day her mother takes her to the boardwalk pier, then vanishes, and a man in a dark coat tells Irene the truth: she was custom-ordered from the Registry of Souls, and her parents have filed a recall.
Her compliance metrics read one hundred percent, so the collector grants her seven days to change their minds. But at home Alyssa has taken her chair, her slippers are gone, and her father strikes her for talking back while her mother spreads lies about her in the family group chat.
Overhearing her parents demand that the agency make her cease to exist, Irene must face how little her obedience ever earned her.
Opening
On my eighteenth birthday, my family played an after-dinner parlor game: rate your children on a scale of one to ten.
When it came to my parents’ turn, I discreetly smoothed the pleats of my dress under the table, my knuckles white in my lap.
My mother couldn't stand tears, so when I broke my leg at seven, I bit the inside of my cheek until it bled, never shedding a single drop. My father demanded relentless excellence, so from middle school through senior year, my name never slipped from the top of the honor roll.
