Personally, I'd consider a micropasta to be something shorter - a few paragraphs perhaps. I'm thinking of something in the realm of r/shortscarystories. Not exactly as specifically defined as their 275 word limit, but something like what I'd find there.

That said, I love the concept. The twist of having the person bascialy imprison themself is good. If you want it to be a micropasta, try condensencing a few of your paragraphs or sentecences. Some of you descriptions are a bit repetative or could use a bit of zing.

Collasping and condensing would let you choose the very best descriptors. It's like distilling hooch. You might get a lot less when you are done, but it has more kick than the stuff you started with.

I think this is a very solid move toward the start of a micropasta.
