Came inside to find one (1) Pantry Gool sitting on top of the dryer. All my socks were paired. There were thirteen socks. I have never had thirteen socks in my life. It tipped its hat (it had a hat) and left.

Asked the reference librarian about a 1987 paper on freshwater algae. She said one moment. From under the desk came a very small green hand holding a stapled photocopy. The librarian said "thanks, Doris." Doris is allegedly the gool.
Plugged in an old USR Sportster I had in the attic. It started humming at 2,400 baud despite being unconnected. Saw a small green silhouette pulse with the LED. Disconnected. Hum continued for 90 seconds. I am leaving the modem out as an offering.
Drained the tub and found a small wet creature on the rim. It said, very quietly, "your aunt will call on Thursday." My aunt called on Thursday. She always calls on Thursday. Inconclusive.
Was rebooting the office switch at 3:14 a.m. The fan noise modulated and clearly said "Henry." Three of us are named Henry. None of us were the right Henry. We have left the room.
Forty minutes. A polite kettle. Featured on the home page.
I was reading "A Cultural History of the Margin" (Kessler, 2009) and footnote 14 had an extra "²" that wasn't supposed to be there. By the time I got to the bibliography it was gone. The footnote also was warmer to the touch. I am being followed by a Footnote Gool.
