manifesto in the Goblin Static

'I have seen manifesto three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

manifesto carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of manifesto more interesting than the actual one.

The Goblin Verdict on manifesto

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on manifesto: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
