infinite Sung by a Hologram Goblin

Variant tellings across three continents place infinite at the moment when a goblin laughs for the first time in a story — never before, never after.

If you ever find yourself explaining infinite to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of infinite will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The Goblin Verdict on infinite
