Sensory Processes of Horror

sensory processes All I can see is fire and pain I smell rotting corpses I can hear the screams of the gods I scream but they don’t listen I can hold your body when you die The visual sense The human eye Rods and cones Color vision CRITICAL DISCUSSION: Theories of color vision Neural processing of visual information The auditory sense Pitch and loudness Complex tones and noise

A red diagram of human sensory organs is overlaid with grotesque speech bubbles: the eye sees fire and pain, the nose smells corpses, the ear hears divine screams, the mouth screams unheard, and the hand holds a body after death. The joke turns an educational “sensory processes” illustration into absurd cosmic horror, making it useful as a reaction to overwhelming suffering or a bizarrely bleak situation.
