I can see where you’re going with this but I think it miss hits rhythmically here and there, because there’s a little too much repetition of the same words. It doesn’t always scan smoothly--try reading it out loud and you might see what I mean. I think with a few of the repetitions taken out you’d have a far tighter and more effective piece. Well done, though, it really is a great idea.
thanks

This indeed remind me strongly and eerily of interrogation. it illustrates what room 101 might be like, and the "static white noise" reminds me of part of The Bell Jar [Sylvia Plath] and her description of electric shock treatmenets. 
 
This rhythm is fantastic adnI think it tends towards being read aloud 
 
great piece with impact and something to think on.
