Barry's life took a turn for the worse [OC]

Barry's life was fantastic. He had a 4 year old child, and his wife had another on the way. But his wife had miscarried. About two weeks later, his son, who they had been very attached to after the miscarriage, had walked out into traffic, and was struck and killed by a car. Then blame starts to get thrown around. His wife leaves him, taking the house and all of his money and possessions that he had worked hard for, and she started having sex with a body builder. Barry was devastated, financially and emotionally. He contemplated suicide. But no, he decided that to bring excitement back into his life, he would rob a train.

He gets his revolver, and heads onto a train. When the ticket taker comes around to take his ticket, he pulls out the gun. "Nobody move or you get shot!" he shouted. People complied with him. He took everyone's money. It had worked, he finally had some excitement in his life again. He was so happy, that he didn't even notice the police coming on board to arrest him. The police asked him why he did it and he said, "I don't know, it all just started going downhill. My whole life was ruined. I honestly thought in the back of my mind that it could bring my son back." "That's a very weird reason," the cop replied, and put him in the police car.

He was in jail, miserable that he was no longer excited. Then the other guy in the cell asked him, "What you in for?" "I robbed a train," Barry replied. The man replied, "Why'd ya do it?" "I wanted some excitement in my life. I don't know, I thought it might bring my son back," Barry replied. "That's a pretty strange cause, eh?" "Yeah."

Barry was meeting with his lawyer to discuss how they should take this case. "Well, did you do it?" his lawyer asked. "Yeah," Barry replied. "Why?" "I don't know. I needed some excitement in my life, and I guess I thought it would bring my son back." His lawyer was dumbfounded, but managed to say, "That's a peculiar impetus, don't you think?" "Uh-huh," Barry said back.

Barry finally got to his court day. He knew he was going to plead guilty, he had to. "All rise for the honorable judge Wilson presiding." The judge came in, and everyone took their seats. The judge looks at Barry, then at his papers, and says, "It states here that you robbed a train, because you needed excitement in your life and you thought it would bring you son back."

And Barry replied, "It was a loco motive."
