What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a screenshot of a text post reading "This piece is called, "Anxiety"" above a single staff of music made entirely of rests that shrink in value bar by bar, from whole and half rests to quarters, eighths, and a dense run of sixteenths. Replies beneath read "it's just silence, but it keeps getting faster..." and "this is stressing me out." The notation joke is reproduced as found; the original posters are not shown. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
