Watching that? Made my stomach turn.

When I was around 8 our gas oven blew up while my mother was lighting it.
My brother and I were sitting in the den watching the tube and I remember it like it was 10 minutes ago.
My father burst in and grabbed us by our collars, one in each hand and ran and threw us in the back of the car.
my mother was already in the car screaming, my father tossed a bunch of wet towels to her as he jumped behind the wheel.
The sound of her skins sizzling from the wet towels is clear as day to me. And the smell. Horrible.
2nd and 3rd degree burns to most of her upper torso and face.
Somehow she came out of it without any scars, physical ones that is.
