What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a screenshot of a Spanish-language Facebook post, the surname and a commenter's name scribbled out in red. The post reads "Oh, my tools fell." over a photograph of a hammer and a sickle lying crossed on a concrete step next to a sneaker, forming the hammer-and-sickle emblem. The reply below reads "our tools *", completing the joke about communist collective ownership. The political symbol is reproduced as found; the joke is not endorsed. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
