Nighttime Domino Sprint

Heading back inside after running down the block, I spotted a stack of thick paperback novels lounging by the rug. Way too tempting. I hauled three of them upright on their edges, spaced them an inch apart like oversized dominoes, and crouched low. With one sharp tap of my shoe against the first spine, the chain reaction fired off—thump, slap, crack! I bolted right underneath the third volume just as it tumbled, sliding out the far side with a grin while the heavy book landed flat with a dusty puff. Perfect timing, zero hesitation.
