One Two One

We’ve been here on New BEL Road for a good while now. The shop is at number 211, right on B A Road where things always seem to be moving fast. It isn’t a huge place, but it fits what we need. Most days start with opening the shutters and sweeping the front step before the traffic really picks up. You can hear the buses and bikes going past all day long. Sometimes the regulars stop by just to say hello or ask about something they saw in the window last week. We try to keep things organized, though boxes tend to pile up in the back corner if we aren't careful. It’s a bit dusty sometimes because of the road work nearby, but that’s just how it is in this part of town. My desk is tucked in the back under a light that flickers if you hit the switch too hard. We don't have fancy decorations or anything. It's just a workspace where we get things done and talk to the people who walk through the door. Usually, it's quiet in the afternoons, then gets busy again when people are heading home from work. The sign outside is a little faded from the sun, but people still find us okay. It’s a simple setup. We know the neighbors, like the guy who runs the tea stall around the corner. That’s pretty much the daily routine here at One Two One.
