The Babysitter
She heard a commotion
A woman’s plea
A woman’s scream
A loud thud
Silence
Her heart was beating rapidly
She pretended she was asleep when he came in
The children’s father paid her twenty dollars
He took her home
She never saw their mother
This was the first time he had driven a babysitter home
She could not stop shaking
Wondering when he would stop the car
And kill her too
