Hall of Infinite Doors
"I'm not interested in any of your 'fun'," you state coldly.
"Well then don't hold us up any longer!" snaps Captain Nutcracker, jumping to his feet and grabbing you by the ear as he pulls you out of the cell. "You can spend the night in the company of the latrines instead! But don't get any ideas about escaping. Under the terms of your sentence, you must stay here until tomorrow morning. If I should catch you out and about in the hallway, I will crack your skull like a walnut! Do you understand me?"
"Yes," you squeak.
The next moment, Captain Nutcracker has literally thrown you into a dank moldy bathroom and slammed the door shut. You hear his boot steps echoing down the hall. Slumping against one of the toilets mounted on the wall, you sigh deeply and close your eyes. Despite your surroundings, you fall asleep instantly.
A ray of sunlight shining through the high narrow window wakes you a few hours later. You open your eyes painfully, exhaustedly, and hugging the toilet for support, you manage to stand up. Every muscle in your body is aching and you think how nice it would be to take a long hot bath, in a safe place far away from Gingerbread Land and all of the crazy individuals who inhabit it. Really, you are quite disillusioned.
Without further thought, you open the bathroom door and walk straight out of the jail, into the morning sun.
