David's death in Snippets

I’m not sure of the exact date around 1972-1973. I actually forgot this happened.
Being a runaway, I made friends with lots of people working at convenience stores. Basically when I remember the friendships they were more to my advantage. This was one. David was a clerk who worked the graveyard shift and I used to go in and help stock shelves and clean. In return David would give me the old dated sandwiches which were store write offs. They were good to eat but not to be sold.
The night he died I was there and I had gone out to take the garbage out I stayed out back and had a cigarette. David didn’t like the smell of smoke. When I went back into the store there was a yellow pickup driving away. I found David in the back cooler lying dead on the floor in blood. I walked out of the cooler and left the store. I never ever returned to that location. I never told anyone.
