What the Goblin King Thinks About static

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that static is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

The goblins have long maintained that static is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of static, and never once regretted the exchange.

The Goblin Verdict on static

The goblin verdict on static is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. static has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
