Suddenly frisson cold with fright

Suddenly frisson cold with fright... I describe, suddenly feeling scared and tried to summon sense and sensibility after scrambling to stand upright with all my might. Otherwise titled recalling taking a fall about five years ago ala Humpty Dumpty impersonation (and nearly cracking me noggin), think the character in an English nursery rhyme opened to countless interpretations, even resorting to ask "ChatGPT, to finish the Humpty Dumpty poem... Oh god..." which complete computer generated Using the same prompt, here's what I got. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn’t put Humpty together again. In the shadows of dusk, where the darkness does creep, Lay shattered the shell, in a silence so deep. His yolk, a grim specter, did mournfully weep, As whispers of sorrow through the night air did seep. The ravens did gather, with eyes cold as stone, As echoes of tragedy chilled to the bone. The wall, now a relic, of sins long atone, Held secrets of nightmares, forever unknown. His fall from the heights, a descent into gloom, Left naught but despair in the heart of his tomb. The king's men retreated, consumed by their doom, For Humpty now rests in the darkened room.
