This was actually for an English assignment, to use lots of imagery in a memory we had. The original 'memory' was when he was being put to sleep, but that was too short, so I put his whole life (or at least what I could remember) in there, and then I had to shorten that. When one of my friends read it, she actually cried. Needless to say, I got a perfect grade on that assignment.
