An account

I am in a store that sells various forms of blades, among other things, and my attention's caught by an iron mask with a strangely curved dagger set into it, removable. (After I woke up I realized the dagger's shape was inspired by F/SN.) The mask's face seems very narrow, but I believe that the mask's features will fit themselves to the wearer. The eyes are particularly narrow and I do not see any holes to look out of. There is a long and narrow stylized beard that reminds me of ancient Egyptian art, which would cover the wearer's neck, and the mouth is designed to look as if it is been sewn shut. I like it. I am distracted by the sound of more people arriving outside. There is a brief confrontation but they dismiss me and the people I am with as not threatening, which irritates me. There is some debate over whether this post-apocalyptic, breakdown-of-society situation we are in will last, or whether things will return to normal in a few days. (Woke up. Back to sleep.) There are three astronauts who have said or done something that their bosses would not approve of, and they have ceased broadcasting in a way that implies they are dead or soon will be. But when I talk to someone who was not watching their broadcast live, I find she is got a different impression of events, she believes everything's fine, and some reasonable-sounding excuse has been given for why the astronauts are no longer broadcasting. Their previous broadcast has been censored or changed. I am playing a piano, using sheet music for a jazz tune I would never heard before. The sun's going down, and the light gradually darkens until I cannot make out the sheet music in front of me.
