Oh wow... I haven't read this yet, but I've actually seen this story before. The little girl in the story was actually used as a reference for the mutant girl in the X-Men issue of Kurt Busiek's amazing miniseries Marvels
Edit: Ah, I see they mentioned that at the bottom of the story.

Maybe I've watched one too many episodes of The Twilight Zone but did anyone else expect that the story would end with
it being revealed that the "hideous mutation" being some utterly minor flaw?
