A night-shift nurse walks into the hospital’s basket room to find something impossible: thirty newborns, all in complete, unnatural silence. What she discovers waiting behind one set of very old eyes sets off a race against time before the nursery’s littlest patients grow into something no one could stop.

“I’ll Kill You Tomorrow” first appeared in If Worlds of Science Fiction in November 1953. Helen Huber remains something of a mystery in pulp SF history. This story appears to be one of the few (if not the only) piece of her published work, though readers have long wished she’d left behind more.
