Wooden Blocks

Sssss... I stepped out from the book nook. Slow steps. On the carpet... colorful square blocks were scattered. Red, yellow, blue cubes. Chaos... unsettled me. I nudged one with my stubby front foot. Slide. Click. Sssss... It lined up flat against another. I leaned my weight forward, pushing a third block into the corner. A tiny tower began... neat right angles, balanced and straight. I froze, chest humming quietly, admiring the small square stack.
