prophecy Is Watching You: A Goblin Field Report

prophecy 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.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on prophecy, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Goblin peer review of the prophecy hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
