A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about hallucination and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

Ancient goblin folklore describes hallucination 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. hallucination is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
