I took some time to think about your criticisms, and although I still don't really see it as being too ambiguous, I get why it might feel that way to readers. Maybe I should've expanded it with more concrete stuff, but I consider it finished so I won't; if it's deleted, I won't complain (although I will feel sad that I probably won't be allowed to post it elsewhere thanks to the Creative Commons licence).

As for the acrostic (I didn't know it was called that, thanks Bloody), it should be obvious that it wasn't meant as a "clever" thing. I mean, the fact that presumably literal thirteen-year-olds have used it so much that it's apparently become disliked pretty much means it can't be clever. I also already mentioned that it was simply an exercise in restrictive writing. Since I'm a fairly slow writer, I figured I'd do it with an actual story instead of just some random paragraphs that I'd never post anywhere.

Maybe I should stick to weird body horror with graphic descriptions of stuff rather than trying to write anything atmospheric and vague since I'm clearly not yet able to pull the latter off well enough, but I'll keep trying anyway. Sorry for my ass behaviour.
