Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of shadow

A formal goblin autopsy of shadow produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

When you stare at shadow long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of shadow developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
