The Schizophrenic Goblin of protocol

A recently translated goblin text, written on what appears to be stolen parchment, contains startling revelations about protocol.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of infinite

To a goblin, infinite is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.'

To a goblin, prayer is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about prayer feels different from thinking about ordinary things.
