Redacted Goblin Memo: lost

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then lost is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

A goblin once tried to steal lost. No one knows how the attempt went, because lost was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding lost in a sock drawer ever since. Others say lost escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

The Goblin Verdict on lost

The Goblin Council's working group on lost has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
