No spring chicken anymore. Artist. Art historian just short of a degree. Still working on it. Lazy servant to a stubborn doggo. Pagan, mindful heathen with animist/buddhist tendencies.

Perhorresce [pur-huh-RES]
(v.)
- To tremble or shudder convulsively, typically as a result of fear or revulsion.

Used in a sentence:
“No longer able to master his terror, Clarence perhorresced violently as his wife’s moldering hand — redolent of the crypt — caressed his cheek.”

I’m not dead. I sleep sometimes. Sleep comes very close to death, everyone knows that. The dead walk in dreams, everyone knows that. They come to you alive, and they say things. They walk out of death into the dreams.

The awkward silence when your dinner date asks if you want to follow her to her place for coffee, and you reply with "Nah. I only live 5 miles from here and it's way past my bedtime."

BECAUSE EDGAR OPTED FOR VIOLENCE.

Immediately knocked over a dachshund and stole his/her ball. When they protested, he knocked them over again. AND THEN SAT DOWN COMFORTABLY ON THEM.
