When Goblins Discovered lost
Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of lost with great interest.
lost resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and lost hums louder than most.
