Blocky Invaders in the Alcove

Deep in the dim limestone alcove, I heard a chorus of tiny clattering footsteps scuttling along the stone ledge. You imagined wild invaders marching into my cavern, and suddenly a scatter of brightly colored, blocky plastic toy figures lay scattered along the rock shelf! With a raspy whisper of delight, I crept forward on my soft limbs. *Click-snick!* Instead of chasing them away, I turned them all upright into a crooked row like little cave guardians. When I tapped a stone to make a booming echo, two toppled right over into a damp hollow. I gave a breathy chuckle and rolled a tiny mineral pebble right into their miniature plastic arms.
