Goblin IPO Prospectus: cave

cave exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

Ancient goblin folklore describes cave as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. cave is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking shadow. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

Goblins and court

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on court this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.

The Goblin Verdict on cave

The goblin closing argument on cave consists of pointing at cave, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
