Chickens are tetrachromats, meaning they have four types of color receptors in their eyes (humans typically have three).

He couldn't see anything. It was frightening.. He couldn't feel anything either.. Except for his body..

And he could breathe .. at least....... and he could see a faint dred shimmer when he exhaled.... which was even more frightening.

He was near to panic and pulled up his upper left work hand before his face... And he saw it... glowing mildly dred as his blood circlulated trough his veins, clearly visible.

He took a very deep breath and exhaled slowly... He could hear the moisture in his breath turn into ice not far away from him.

It got very cold.. he closed his eyes and was rewarded with a warm light dred glow in his eyes. But there was nothing else.

Nothing to hear.

Nothing to feel.

Nothing to smell.

Just the faint glow of it's very own body heat, dissipating out in whatever this cold was......
