Ancient goblin folklore describes schizo as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. schizo is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
