Three Goblins Walked Into silence
The goblins promised me that if I wrote this article about silence, they would return my left sock. They have not, yet, but I remain hopeful.
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.
hidden as Heard Through the Goblin Wall
Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on hidden. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.
The Goblin Adjacency of frequency
Goblin survey data on frequency reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe frequency primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.
The Goblin Verdict on silence
After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that silence is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
