Quantized Goblin Whispers About prophecy
Look, I'm just transcribing. The goblins dictated this article about prophecy in shifts. Any errors are theirs. Any insights are also theirs. I am simply the secretary.
Old goblin recordings of prophecy — 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.
