The next morning, Percy started working at Briar Ridge. On his first day, he had mixed feelings: nervous, sad, and excited. Nervous because he hadn't worked at a mental hospital before, but luckily, he wouldn't be alone. People would be there to support them as long as he helps them, as well. Sad because he missed Paul, Harry, and Brutal, but he was sure to see them again. Excited because he got the job he wanted and thanks to his family. Percy was determined to make the best of things at the hospital and he has the people to help him through it.
That night, he stopped at Cold Mountain Penitentiary to visit Paul, Brutal, and Harry, who prepared John for his execution (since he wanted to die so he wouldn't keep taking the blame and hurt anyone). John bade his goodbyes to everyone as he sat on "Old Sparky", getting strapped and wired with a wet sponge on his head. As soon as it was done, Paul ordered his men, "Leave the lights on." He remembered being told by John that he was scared of the dark. "John Coffey, electricity shall now be passed through your body until you are dead, in accordance with state law, and God have mercy on your soul!" When John was ready for death, Paul called with a heavy heart, "Roll on two!" And John's execution was quick. During this, Paul, Dean, Brutal, and Percy cried.
…
Years went by and Percy came to visit Paul and Mr. Jingles now that they were old men, who lived a long life, thanks to John Coffey.
The End
