Realizations.

My eyes opened to a foreign room, scanning for the source of noise that demanded attention. I stumbled over and looked at my phone as the source of noise. It jingled to alert me of an incoming text.
The words sank like stone weights in the ocean of my vision.
My friend asked what was the matter, but it was too late. My Facade was already in place.

My hand opened the door to the doctor's lobby, the festival decorations adding almost a scent of familiarity. I heard my name called up to the front desk, and listened as I was told of my lack of money for even a simple visit. I walked out into the overcast light to await my ride. I found myself wearing the Understanding Face.

My ears pricked when I heard the raised voice coming from the person at the end of the hall. I walked towards it filled with curiosity. I stood behind the raised voice as I watched siblings bicker and yell. I smiled at one bash his head against the door, trying to calm down. Shortly after he left to release his anger, I knocked on the door and played the Pied Piper Mask.

I found myself before the mirror once more, my mask still in place. I tried to pull it off but saw it left no trace. I pried and pulled and tugged and told myself it was merely a mask for the task at hand.
I looked at my reflection and let out a laugh. I saw it all. The truth was sadistically Divine: I was a Personified Punchline!
