Chapter 41 Inside the Antique Shop

The interior of the antique shop was just as Duncan had guessed —— filled with disorder, decay, and a dismal appearance of doing poor business. Even just by looking at the dust accumulated near the display window, the Visitor could imagine how wretched the owner's life had become.

The first thing he saw were the shelves near the walls on both sides, where large vases, sculptures, and totems of obscure meaning were placed on low, steady surfaces. Behind these shelves, the wall was gridded for smaller "merchandise". The counter faced the entrance, a long bar, and the racks behind it were also dusty, filled with dark-hued frames and small trinkets.

Behind the counter, there was also a staircase leading to the second floor, which looked dim and its structure was not clear at the moment.

There was also a small door under the staircase which, in his "memory", should lead to the storage area at the back of the shop —— half of the space cluttered with various items.
