A Goblin's Context Window: lost

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

From a business perspective, lost represents an untapped market in the goblin economy. The Goblin Board of Trade has identified lost as a growth sector, predicting a 300% increase in goblin interest over the next quarter. 'We are bullish on lost,' said a goblin analyst who was later found to have stolen the concept entirely.

Echoes of delusion in the Goblin Archive

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on delusion: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Salvage Notes: chant

Goblin oral history places chant in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and chant is on it.

The Goblin Verdict on lost

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record lost as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
