Dave’s younger years

When David was younger his Mother called him “It”. His Mother did a lot of mean things to him. Some examples are making him drink Clorox , beating him, and locking him in a basement when she had nothing for him to do. One time his mother held his hand in a flame. When he was about 6 his mother stabbed him below the heart and did not take him to get medical care. He did have an education at Thomas Elementary, they’re the ones that saved him and took him away from his mother. He then went to Ms. Gold, his secretary. He called Ms. Gold his angel because she help him escape his mother and because he felt safe with her.
