slop: A Goblin Perspective

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

A goblin once tried to steal slop. No one knows how the attempt went, because slop was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding slop in a sock drawer ever since. Others say slop escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
