The lock is tamper-proof; the only key hangs on Matron Farrow's chain, beside the keys to the cart's restraints. \n- Bag era (first week): forced to wear and use the residents' soiled diapers when not sealed in the garbage bag. Juanita only changed him when he was not serving as a garbage slave. He soiled the diapers himself — shitting and pissing in the used diaper he wore — and the diaper was trashed at each change. Caleb's own waste is never fed to him. \n- Box era (from the first weekend on): diaper changes are over. He is never diapered while sealed inside the box — he shits and pisses directly into it, and the tank is drained only when his own output fills it. The only times he is diapered now are when he is removed from the box for some reason. \n- Every night of the cart era, the day's used diapers were emptied into the cart funnel for him to swallow. Two were spared — the filthiest of the day (saved for the morning change if he was not bagged, otherwise dumped into the funnel) and the fullest (his pillow, or worn sealed over his head until morning).

After a week of denial his body betrayed him: a ruined, pathetic orgasm inside the steel, the first and only thing his body ever gave up willingly.

The distension presses up against his lungs, forcing every breath shallow, and the chest strap digs into the crest of the bulge.

Whatever small nutrition can be wrung from other people's shit is scraped off in a desperate pass — enough to keep his heart beating and nothing else — and the rest is shoved through. Transit time collapsed over the first week; by the first weekend the waste moved through him in roughly ten minutes from funnel to floor. The mound swells with each feeding and then subsides in a hard, cramping rush as his body forces the load out of him, shitting and pissing almost continuously; the relief never lasts because the next feeding is always minutes away. In the bag era this output overfilled and tore apart every diaper he wore — the liquid squeezed around and into the chastity cage, filling it with his own waste, and leaked through the leg seals into the bag, where only about 20% of it was soaked up by absorbent diaper material and the rest pooled around him. In the box era (from the first weekend on) he wears no diaper at all and empties himself directly onto the box floor, which is what fills the tank.

As the day wears on, Caleb's own waste — forced through his gut by the sheer volume he has swallowed — overfills the diaper he wears and leaks out through the leg seals into the bag, mixing with the rest. Some of it is soaked up by any absorbent diaper material that hasn't reached capacity (only about 20% of the day's waste); the rest pools in the bag, coating his body with shit, an odd mix of everything he was fed. In the Onslaught his diaper tore open completely, split hip to hip by its own contents. The contents of the bag are never fed to Caleb. The bag is left on until it is full; only then is it taken off, thrown away, and replaced with a new bag."}]}]}
