Emma opened her eyes when the pull stopped and she felt the ground beneath her feet. She was standing at the place where the metal covering to the sewage tunnel was placed, except there was only grass there now. Just green grass and fresh soil around. The area didn't even seem like it had an opening to a sewage before.
She looked around and noticed that the backyard of the old building, which was the filthiest place she had ever seen, was now a clean, fragrantic garden with blossoms and plants. Squirrels were running around from the nearby trees and birds could be heard chirping. The weather was warm and cheerful, and sound of people could be heard from inside the building.
People!
Emma walked towards the entrance of the building. The building, which was an abandoned creepy place just a few hours ago, had people laughing around cheerfully, playing snooker, talking about their lives. They were old, retired people. It was really an old age home, just not abandoned. The paint of the building was perfect. The windows, not shattered.
