Killer Babysitter

By Diane Ullmer

It is said that cats have nine lives and most understand this as a mildly clever metaphor for the preternatural ability of felines to land on their feet. 
The mentally challenged Christine Falling took this saying quite literally, so much so that during her formative years she would regularly take cats up to the top of the highest buildings in her Perry, Florida neighborhood and dropped them off over the roof. 
Most of the people that came in contact with her would walk away shaking their head in disbelief at her ignorance. 
Her stupidity would prove to be dangerous, however, as Christine would seek employment as a babysitter. 
Tragically, she would soon graduate from killing cats to killing children.
