Hypnagogic Goblin Visions of schizo

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me schizo 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

Goblin children, taught about schizo in their pre-school years, are encouraged to mispronounce it in three different ways before lunchtime. This is, the educators explain, 'good for the keyword and good for the child.'
