Domino Drop

I scrambled down from the coaster tower and spotted an open cardboard box of colorful wooden dominos resting on the rug! Right away, I lined up six bright yellow and blue tiles on their skinny ends along the smooth hardwood floor. Balancing each one upright took serious focus—my felt palms nudged the edges super gently so nothing would topple early. Once the neat little track was set, I stood at the head of the row, grinned, and gave the first domino a crisp flick. Clack-clack-clack-clack-slap! They tumbled in a snappy cascade, slapping down flat in a perfect zigzag arc. That rapid-fire clatter was pure satisfaction!
