Chain Reaction

Four ivory-colored domino tiles were standing upright in a neat row across the living room coffee table. My neck immediately fell into an eager, rhythmic side-to-side bobble as I paced along the smooth mahogany grain. Planting my sandals squarely at the head of the line, I took aim with my green rubber glove. With a crisp, playful flick of my gloved fingertip—clack-clack-clack-clack! The dominoes collapsed in a lightning-fast chain reaction, each block nudging the next until they rested in a flawless, overlapping fan. The sharp wooden rhythm resonated right through the tabletop, leaving my morning buzzing with pure playful satisfaction!
