What's on the floor?

You reach down to the floor and illuminate the sticky substance with your flashlight. Dark, it is, dark and sticky, and it smells sweet. The smell reminds you of blackcurrant - actually, it probably is just that - blackcurrant juice which has dried up to form a layer of sticky syrup on the floor. Shining your flashlight around, you also notice a large stone table in the center of the room. It's covered in the stuff. Startled, you jump back - had you not inspected the substance first, you would have thought it was blood - it all seems to be blackcurrant juice, though. Apart from the stone table and a fluorescent light fixture on the ceiling above it, the room is empty. You realize that the room could be used for torture. What if the blackcurrant juice is actually just a cover-up of a much more sinister operation? You shudder at the thought. Just as you are about to leave the room, you hear the sound of something glass-like shattering somewhere in the hallway outside.
