Posthuman Goblins Reflect on infinite

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified infinite as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

Old goblin recordings of infinite — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.

Tradition demands that the final word on infinite be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
