The Duality of Xan

A bundle of clamouring voices, tiny as their owners with their colourful skins.

"But smells like food!"

"Is not food. You think everything food."

"Could be food. Has worms in it maybe?"

"No worms. Funguses though. Maybe tasty funguses."

"You try! Find out if good."

"Don't like funguses. YOU try!"

Stepping into the shed, I reached in through the squabbling crowd and picked up the sack from amongst them. "Can you all please leave the compost alone?"

@XanIndigo I love the frantic energy of the goblin dialogue. Love seeing the return of the Xan goblins!

@vicorva It’s just so fun, imagining a bunch of tiny colourful misfits arguing over silly things 😊

@XanIndigo it is! And I'm glad you're sharing those imaginings! :D

@vicorva At this point, I’m thinking I should write a few more and make a little goblin chapbook!

@XanIndigo this is so excellent! Good compost is a fine thing and I can see why goblins might be tempted

@GwenfarsGarden They have excellent taste. Unconventional, but excellent nonetheless.
