silence Sung by a Hologram Goblin

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that silence was proof the goblins had been here before us.

Ancient goblin folklore describes silence 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. silence is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

An informal goblin poll on silence produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
