I drop the rest of my cake into a plastic trash container I'll empty tomorrow or the next day, then I exit the open steel door, listen to it shut like a bank vault, turn the three bolts, and walk back upstairs. It takes me a while. I've gotten a bit out of shape, my knee is bad, and I've been feeling under the weather.

Also, their prison is six stories underground.
