Skimpers, the pet mouse in the prison, gets healed by him. A very sadistic guard stomps on Mr. Skimpers, mostly killing him. John Coffey asked Percy to bring the mouse to the cage and asked to hold him. When John cuffed him in his hands, the mouse came back to life. The exact quote after says, “Boss Percy bad. He means. He stepped on Del's mouse. I took it back though” (John Coffey (Character)). This is a good example of mysticism because it shows that John Coffey has the ability to heal people with his hands. Stephen King was always interested in making the weird seem normal. This isn’t normal in regular humans, but Stephen King uses this to add a twist to his story and keep the reader
