summary on the back cover of Anguish, a play by joseph turner white:
Daniel Dan, a young electrician traveling in
North Dakota, has his shoes shined by a
veteran of World War II, also named Daniel
Dan. The two strike up a quick friendship and
decide that fate has brought them together.Tragically, Daniel (the veteran), is electrocuted
when Daniel (the electrician) asks him to be his
helper on a small residential rewiring. The guilt
that Daniel feels over his mistake haunts him
for the rest of his life. Adding insult to injury,
the rewiring customer never made his final
payment due to financial difficulties totally un-
related.
