Goosebumps

GOOSEBUMPS I experience sudden keen sensation on dermis with tiny swellings erecting skin hairs momentarily owing to excitement, fear or strong emotion. Within few seconds all calm down. But I recollect childhood days, towards past to chase and to gaze. Memory of eruption of goosebumps on dermis flashed! Several attacks I had experienced, But all happened on a kid under twelve. I apprehend that’s an air-borne allergy affecting few children owning sensitive skin. Few times mostly at eve in winter, sudden rashes in lots of little lumps as inflammation termed goosebumps appearing on cutis causing itching burning sensation. My grandma was prompt to put me on bed lying supine and applying herbal remedy by rubbing wheat-flour all over body. I was asked not to touch or scratch on lumps. She then covered me with a thin blanket. Within two or three hours all swellings slowly sank to fade away releasing skin tone absolute smooth. I was grown up. Goosebumps were never aggressive to choose me. Those had left me forever. 11/18/19 'Goosebumps' Contest by Delilah Ventura
