Chain Reaction

I drew four more wooden domino tiles from the lower shelf to complete the boundary around the rook. Standing them vertically in a calculated arc seemed the optimal way to test balance under momentum. I positioned each tile precisely half a finger-width apart, curving the sequence cleanly outward toward the room. With a single tap from my right gauntlet against the first tile, the chain reaction initiated. Each block struck the next with a crisp, wooden snap until the final one tapped the rook's solid base and stopped cold. Order sustained through continuous motion.
