#Horripilation
.

The forest went still
as the fog shrilled
and so did he.
Consumed by fear,
with dread he ran.

Horripilation
Seizing the skin as the sheet
Takes form, approaching.

TIL the technical term for goosebumps is "horripilation". Quite perfect.

That fool Big Head is always looking for the Fork of Horripilation.

ME, writing: "'Goosebumps' is such an ugly word. I need something else. What's the medical term for it, I wonder?"

THE INTERNET: "The medical term for goosebumps is piloerection, horripilation, or the pilomotor reflex"

ME, typing: "g-o-o-s-e-b-u-m-p-s"

This week's word is horripilation (noun), the bristling of the hair of the body/head due to cold, fear, or excitement.

That's right, we're writing horror this #5amwritersclub.

Poor Big Head will never find the Fork of Horripilation.

In case you want more words to express your reaction to these daily affronts:

Horripilations
the erection of hairs on the skin due to cold, fear, or excitement.
"a horripilation of dread tingled down my spine"

Ah, yes. The Fork of Horripilation. I have heard rumors about it. It appears that Lord Sheogorath has returned it to the Isles.;well-spoken, measured speech

Blocked that one right away. The word for the sensation it caused on the back of my neck: horripilation.

Music is Science. Everything is a vibration and has it's own Resonant Frequency. Including you. When you *listen* to music which shares your vibes, those frequencies become "in phase" with you. Neural system forges new pathways in your body. Tech terms for goosebumps: Piloerection, Horripilation
I find this extremely interesting. I have a playlist I’ve called simply, “spiritual.” Certain notes in certain songs I literally feel in me, in my brain, in my veins, I have no idea how to explain it. So cool. Science!

Off to see my neurologist this morning, so a good chance to use words like BORBORYGMUS (grumbling in intestines), XEROSIS (very dry skin), OBDORMITION (numb limbs), HORRIPILATION (goosebumps) and to generally describe my illness as PROCTALGIA (a literal pain in the butt 😂)
