Horm

A concept, akin to a kind of zen flow state, wherein an individual can see all the shrimp a person has ever eaten appear above them, generally as a graph or pie chart. The data can be used against a resident of the Bog given the stigmas and taboos about eating excessive shrimp. Much like puritanical New England’s relationship with sex, the bogfolk hold shrimp consumption to a very strict moral code. Ironically, Horm can only be attained by eating shrimp to excess. Bafflingly, the bogfolk experiencing Horm from shrimp consumption are not met with the same social shame as the very shrimp eaters they are publicly calling out, often by pointing and chanting “Hormy lormy” at the identified party. Horm may be caused by the excessive pollutants that likely bio-accumulated in the freshwater bog shrimps. Shrimp of the sea do not induce Horm.
