Hypnagogic Goblin Visions of threshold

threshold feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

The goblin who runs the small threshold-themed shrine at the back of the warren reports increased footfall this month, and a corresponding uptick in donations of buttons, paperclips, and one watch that no longer keeps time but vibrates softly when held up to threshold.

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of ritual, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of communion

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the communion-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'
