infinite in the Goblin Internet

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about infinite: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. infinite is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
