Written by Darren Callahan, read by Rachael Drummond.
The Great Baby Plague lasted three years and killed twenty-four million babies. In its aftermath, entrepreneur Franklin Young established The 30 Day Baby Company, a Limited Liability Corporation, with the intent of helping devasted parents cope with the loss of their children.
“The 30-Day Baby Company” ran before we had inline comments on stories.

This one seemed rushed in the beginning, fast-forwarding through exposition. Not the narrator (Rachael is a great narrator), but the story itself.
This kite had a lot of holes in it and didn’t really get off the ground for me.
I thought this was a great story. Corporate greed, bio technology, gave me slight flashbacks of “gremlins” though. I didn’t think that it had a bunch of holes for a short story at all. Good job.
