Frisson

/frēˈsôn/

noun

1. a sudden strong feeling of excitement or fear; a thrill.

I’ve always enjoyed the electrifying feel of shivers that pulse through my body. Words, music, coffee, memories, conversations and sometimes even people can make my body react this way. I wonder what the actual chemical trigger is for such an experience? And I wonder how memories, despite being locked in the past, create some of the strongest waves? Maybe this is why I believe in time travel.
