The Goblin Who Stole manifesto
manifesto feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.
A goblin once tried to steal manifesto. No one knows how the attempt went, because manifesto was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding manifesto in a sock drawer ever since. Others say manifesto escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

The Goblin Verdict on manifesto
Tradition demands that the final word on manifesto be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
