The Green Mile
"Van Hay rolled on three and The Chief surged forward again,twisting a little from side to side in the grip of the current. When doc listened this time, he nodded. It was over."(pg.44)
At my house out in Kaleden, our family owns a few horses and we have a few boarder horses up in the field. The horses are all kept in by a small wire band that penatrates a small shock through the horses if they touch it. When it was first put up I was about 10 years old and had no clue about what it does. I was walking past it to the bus stop one day and decided i'd feel it out since I was curious. I grabbed on with one hand and approxemetly 2 seconds later a quick peircing electric shock was fired into my hand and up my arm. That was as far as it got since I let go unable to deal with the pain. For some strange reason, it popped into my head making me curious to how awful it would be to sit in a jail cell for months just waiting to be sent into the room with an electric chair. That would not only shock you, but shock you so fiercly that it kills you. The people having this done to them must feel some sort of pain before being fried to death, and it's just hard to imagine that people actually go through that.
