The Goblin Palimpsest of infinite

A formal goblin autopsy of infinite produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

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