In a disturbing scene from Richard Bachman's "Rage," the character Herk experiences a sudden and intense wave of nausea, resulting in him vomiting up various contents, including a mouse and remnants of his lunch. The unsettling nature of the incident amplifies the horror as he becomes bewildered and seeks answers from his mother, only to witness her succumbing to the same fate.

The grotesque imagery continues as Herk observes the old mouse among the vomit. In a twisted moment of perspective, the mouse appears more palatable compared to the unappetizing mixture surrounding it, highlighting a sense of desperation and horror in the scene. The visceral reactions of both Herk and his mother create a stark, unsettling atmosphere that underscores the chaos of their situation.
