The Insurrectionist
“His mind was swirling through the past, the present, and his very dim future. Between Marsha, Dr. Sodhi, and the wasted time sitting around in his cell, all he could do is think of what was and could have been. He could have married Heather; he wanted to but he knew his mother would not approve and Heather would not convert. He could have ignored his mother’s wishes, but he chose his family over himself.
Aggressively he switched positions on his hard cement bed and turned to fac...e the wall. He reached his hand out to feel the cold cement and realized his family’s expectations were a wall he could not overcome; he couldn’t break free. Sure, there were plenty of girls at the Islamic center in Reading that were suitable girlfriends and potential wives, and there were plenty in the mosque in Philadelphia. It wasn’t without trying, but none of them were Heather. All were too ready and too complacent to fall into the Muslims traditions. Funny, how Heather’s independence and rebellion is what attracted me.MoreLess
