The Small Assassin

It doesn't make much sense for baby to kill their parents, does it? Well, it doesn't make too much sense to me. But in The Small Assassin, a new born baby killed his parents. If it were accidental, I still don't know. Many mothers have perished in childbirth, similar to the fact that the mother in The Small Assassin almost died when she was birthing the baby. This drew the mother to believe that the baby tried to kill her, so she hated the baby. At first I thought the mother was just paranoid. But was she? Could a baby really plan something like that? Maybe, because later in the story the father is almost killed by tripping and falling down the stairs. He tripped on a toy that the baby placed at the top of the stairs. The next day it was there again. Only this time it was the mother who tripped, and she died. This causes the man to hate the baby like the mother did, so he named it Lucifer. Then, some toxic gases are left running in the house, which kills the father.

It is not very clear to me why a baby would want to kill their parents but lets go back to our question, 'Could a baby really plan something like that?'. After reading this story, I think its possible.
