I'm reminded of a story called "Game," by Donald Barthelme. He repeats certain phrases all throughout the story to add an element of insanity, or to make it look like sanity is something his character has to work to hold on to. I really like this story, and I like how there's no specific mention of how long it's been since the character locked himself in the room. It indicates that maybe he has no idea. You can kind of assume it hasn't been over a month, depending on if he happened to have any food or water in his room, but the lack of details adds to the unnerving quality that comes from the unknown. Overall, very cool. Good job.
