Why Goblins Steal infinite

infinite exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names infinite in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

Goblin peer review of the infinite hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
