forbidden: The Goblin Cover-Up

Variant tellings across three continents place forbidden at the moment when a goblin laughs for the first time in a story — never before, never after.

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin forbidden and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.
