Class free-writing exercise

It's the most memorable and horrifying thing in the house to me. The chair just inside the living room door. The chair my mom died in. I remember it like it just happened. I was nine years old when the aneurysm hit her. it was quick and painless but it messed me up a great deal. I was sitting on her lap sharing a bowl of popcorn and watching Jaws. It wiped out 100% of her brain instantly turning her into a vegetable. This was 22 years ago and on her birthday and the day it happened it still bothers me a bit.
