Beyond the Goblin Gate: ghost

The forthcoming goblin monograph on ghost is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to ghost preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

Footnotes Concerning infinite

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features infinite as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The prophecy-Adjacent Goblin File

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on prophecy: '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 ghost

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