nice but i wanted to make the pawn a queen not a rook, does it have to be a rook? Also rather than the rook and king just trailing down the board why dosnt black try to push the white king onto the side and set up taking the pawn? Or am i missing something.

Good puzzle though dont get me wrong I liked it.

Yes, it has to be a rook, because then the rook would check the king on the same file as the queen, queen captures and you have a stalemate.
