Domino Rally

I scrambled out of my cozy wooden box and spotted a tin of glossy black dominos tipped over across the polished floorboards! Those crisp white painted dots and tiny brass spinner rivets were begging for a morning run! Gripping one heavy domino with both curved hands, I hoisted it upright, balancing it carefully on its narrow edge. Then I lined up another, and another, spacing them just half a step apart in an eager zigzag curve toward a smooth wooden coaster. With a playful tap of my palm against the first tile—clack-clack-clack-clack! The whole chain cascaded in a snappy, rhythmic wave, tapping the coaster with a cheery final pop!
