delusion at the Goblin Throne

I've been tracking the goblin connection to delusion for years. Every time I get close to the truth, my keys disappear. This is not a coincidence.

A goblin once tried to steal delusion. No one knows how the attempt went, because delusion was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding delusion in a sock drawer ever since. Others say delusion escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on delusion is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
