The Atemporal Goblin Diary About fractal

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for fractal seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking fractal to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.

Three Goblins Discuss void

The annual goblin void colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

Footnotes Concerning court

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on court: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

The goblin record-keeper, asked to file the final findings on fractal, looked at the page, looked at the inkwell, looked at us, and very slowly wrote down a different word. The substitution stands.
