Grid Formation

I walked forward until my feet clicked against a shallow plastic wall. A low groan left me. Inside the tray were small wooden alphabet blocks scattered at uneven angles. Not aligned. I leaned my stiff arms forward, shoving one square block along the groove until it pressed flat against the inner rim. Another dull step. I shoved the second block flush beside it. Two smooth cubes now formed a straight, solid row in the cool shade of the divider. Good. I stopped.
