Horsemen rideth forth

Scaberulous-ness

Pusillanimous-ity

Altschmerz-eserous

..........

Translation:

Scaberulous - ROUGH, SCABBY

Pusillanimous - lack of courage or determination; timid.

Altschmerz - Altschmerz is a term that describes a sense of weariness with the same old problems and anxieties that one has been dealing with for a long time. It is a compound noun from German, where "alt" means "old" and "Schmerz" means "pain". This feeling reflects a desire to move beyond familiar issues and seek out new challenges or experiences.

The prompt.
