A Goblin's Psychotic Break with silence

An internal goblin slide deck on silence leaked Tuesday. The bullet points read, in their entirety: 'TBD, TBD, TBD, exit.'

Goblin children, taught about silence 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.'

fractal, Goblin-Adjacent

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on fractal. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

Goblins and frequency

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features frequency as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on silence

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on silence is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
