shadow in the Goblin Static

Variant tellings across three continents place shadow at the moment when a goblin laughs for the first time in a story — never before, never after.

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