Snap Shot from the Secret of Marriage; Do the Opposite of What I Did By Marvin James

Here is a piece from one of the realest books out!
Do you remember what
an interruption is? If not, here it goes again: “some abrupt
occurrence that interrupts an ongoing activity.” It also
means “the state of being interrupted, a breach or break
caused by the abrupt intervention of something foreign,
intervention, interposition.”
I was thinking that my desire to attend barber school
and taking a reprieve from the criminal activity was my
interruption, but little did I know that my interruption
would be a class B felony for an armed robbery of Subway!
Out of all the criminal activities I had done, and you mean
to tell me I get caught for robbing a Subway restaurant?
Within the span of one week, I go from planning to attend
barber school to robbing a Subway, being incarcerated with
a $150,000 bond and facing a twenty to twenty-five-year
sentence in prison.
As I sat in a cold cell that first night, I thought to myself
that I knew I was caught and there was no need for me
staying up, worrying about what would happen at this
point. If you were to line up ten men in a cell and didn’t
know who was the guilty one, wait and see who goes to
sleep first, and you will have spotted the guilty one. You see,
when you know you’re innocent, you can’t rest, because you
have done absolutely nothing to be held against your will.
Only the guilty can snuggle with a pillow in a cell because
he knows that it’s over and he can finally rest.
