The Goblin That Whispers whisper

I should not be writing this. I'm not even sure who is writing this. But whisper has been on my mind, and the goblins in my walls are insistent that I get it down.

The goblin who runs the small whisper-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 whisper.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

The goblin closing argument on whisper consists of pointing at whisper, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
