Interesting. I can't help but not buy into the 'ah, it knows where I live etc etc' thing, as I never am... But on the other hand, the idea that the whole thing was a very complicated backdoor for an extremely patient end-user is kind of interesting on its own. I was more intrigued by the premise of the pasta and DOStin than out-right scared, but that can be a good thing. A good story with scary elements trumps a creepypasta that has no good story anytime of the week.

More than anything else, I got the sense of a 'classic ghost story' from this. The spirit (or perhaps all-too-literal) ghost in the machine isn't hostile until something that wrongs it (or it perceives to be wrong) occurs, at which point it becomes an insurmountable obstacle that pursues the narrator to the ends of the earth. It's a simple structure, but even Frankenstein is written using it; Victor's monster is tireless and driven, and the plot is arguably avoidable.

So -  a heath flower for solitude and strength. Wrought with paranoia on some level myself, I'm always interested in protaganists who find themselves unable to continue because of it. A good story, and I'll definitely read others you write.
