The Assignment — Stephen Donald Huff

Imagine the evilest person on Earth, someone who will eventually grow up to lead a vast slaughter of humanity. Now imagine that person as a small child. Could you kill her in her youthful innocence, empowered only by your understanding of what she might one day become? What might have happened if someone had murdered Adolph Hitler as a child? Can one conflicted agent pull the trigger on an infant to avoid Armageddon?
