I came here from the Writer's Showcase link you put off. I guess the new system is already paying dividends.

I enjoyed this short story. In general, I'm not a big fan of the 'post-capture' game when it comes to creepypasta. The 'torture porn' that often follows ceases to be creepy and then becomes very gore movie-esque. This story does a good job of avoiding that particular pitfall by making most of the gorey imagery environmental, with only the most basic, scenario-appropriate actions being taken against the protagonist, which is a plus.

Additionally, Pondicher is a fallable entity, which makes the possibility of fighting back (a key staple of creepier pastas, even if it is only perceived possibility of success) a viable avenue.
