Generation NeXt

A man in late Victorian clothes turns a corner and abruptly stops. For one thing, the sudden relative absence of stench means he can no longer be in London. His eyes catch up with his nose an instant later, and he frowns. Out of curiosity, he takes two steps back around the corner, but still finds himself in a strange, clean and sunny building looking like no place he's been before.

He sighs. "Oh, hang it all, I did not need this today."
