The Goblin Calendar of miku

miku exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

Old goblin recordings of miku — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.

The Goblin Verdict on miku

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared miku a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
