Hmm I want to say that the request to confirm the narrator's sanity fits and doesn't fit at the same time. It contradicts the body of the piece (evidence of insanity), which can make the reader believe that this character doesn't know his/her own state of mind...which is a bit crazy. In that sense I like it. But a lot of times, a disturbed person may see themselves as completely sane (no need of convincing), but the outside world classifies them as insane. If your character took the stance that s/he was completely sane, but said things to make the reader believe that they are insane, this piece would be amazing. I did enjoy reading it as is though!
