The Schizophrenic Goblin of tome

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes tome as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

When you stare at tome long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of tome developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

The Goblin Verdict on tome

An informal goblin poll on tome produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
