This has such an elegiac spookiness, and as others have said, it's a really neat extrapolation from the movie. I especially like your justification for Eames and Arthur being (very amusing but) thinly-rendered types in the film: Cobb's subconscious transforms his best friends into distant snarky sidekicks just as it turned his wife into a monster. Just one more way of protecting himself, keeping the real people he loves from ever finding him.
