Doomposting Goblins About silence

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

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, silence occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.
