prophecy and the Infinite Content Mill

The forthcoming goblin monograph on prophecy is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'

A goblin once tried to steal prophecy. No one knows how the attempt went, because prophecy was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding prophecy in a sock drawer ever since. Others say prophecy escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
