Tricking the time itself

Knock! The guard knocked on the cell doors waking up Ember and others, “Take this!”
He had a ruddy complexion and a wide mouth in which he had all the discoloured terrible teeth and they look unhealthy.
Saying so he slid in a plate, it was just as awful as the place. It was indescribable, the contents of the plate had long since cooked and now was just there!
A dry slice of bread that was covered in fungus with some good forsaken curry that didn't feel or looked like curry at all.
The bread had become soft and changed its colour. The mould itself had become fluffy. It had produced spores on it, which was typical of green-black colour…… And the curry provided contained a lot of unfresh vegetables which were usually firm and had turned squishy and soft; which was the sign that it was rotten. A foul and unpleasant smell was being emitted from the food and was completely unfit for consumption.
Just looking at it was enough to turn their stomach upright!
