Many writers, of both serious and imaginative books, are though to use Auxesis. The word is greek and it means growth. It is the gradual increase in power and emphasis from one word to the next, erupting at the end of the sentence with its most powerful phrase or word. An example of auxesis would be “The metal felt warm, then hot, then burning” or “I looked, I smiled, I laughed, I died from laughter“.
