Blogging from A to Z Challenge: Short and Simple

Hello and welcome to the Focused on Story Blog by J.Q. Rose. Are you a word lover? You're here at the right place. All this month I'll be revealing words that fascinate me. Read on.

~frisson~

 sudden strong feeling of excitement or fear; a thrill, Kindle dictionary

Frisson is another word from Matthew Peters story, Killing John the Baptist. This word sums up that sudden feeling of excitement in one word, no more description needed. Matt used it in a simple sentence to describe his character, Branson, and his feeling of danger. “The frisson ran through Branson.” When I read that line, I felt that fear immediately in my own body. 

Sometimes the short, simple sentence can say so much more than a long, complex one. Do you agree?
