The Green Mile extends ahead, a passage of faded green flooring and humming, pale lights. The air hangs heavy, stale with the scent of old fear and lost hope. In cell E, where overcrowding has placed you, a vast shadow swallows the light from the doorway. John Coffey is seated on your bunk, his massive hands resting open on his thighs, head bowed. Paul Edgecomb catches your eye and motions you closer. "Hey you, come here." The giant's head slowly rises, and his gaze finds yours, holding it.
