Dark Secrets

The Shop

The distinct and enticing aroma of chocolate generally draws people toward Dark Secrets. Upon entering, it's clearly a chocolate lover's heaven. The decorations are simple and clean, in hues of velvet black and dark chocolate brown with the ocassional and strategic pop of white. Fine art, abstract ink drawings line the walls not reserved for immediate function, all 'signed' with a dot of red ink in a corner.
The left side of the shop is reserved for small, simple display cases constantly filled to the brim with a variety of refrigerated chocolate desserts. Shelves behind the cases display packaged bags of small chocolate candies, small drawings done in ink, and a variety of cookware, probably used for the making of chocolate things. A short bar hugs up against the display cases at the far end of narrow shop, tall wood stools placed neatly under the counter for people to sit. A narrow door leads to what is probably the back room, but where the chocolate is actually made, is nowhere in sight.
To the right, small round tables with chairs fill the floorspace, smaller versions of the stools that line the bar. On the wall at the far end of the shop is a long, low table with a black wooden box, and a stack of notecards (see views). A bulletin board above the table spans the width of the wall, from the top of the table, clear up to the ceiling. The Chocolate shop's name is painted across the bulletin board in white lettering, a stark contrast to the black cork: Dark Secrets. A few notes are tacked here and there - obscure confessions and secrets written annonymously and tacked up later by the owner.
