thief in the night

it was a cold night. i had been up since 3 am and decided i should go to sleep. i got to my bed and pulled my golden laced blanket over my lap and tried to sink in to the dark abyss u might call sleep. i prefer to think of it as either a look into heaven or a look into hell depending on how my dreams go. but on that cold night it was neither heaven nor hell but a mix of both. at first i thought it would be a peaceful night. i dreamt i was in water, with all my wories taken away, in the most beautiful waters you could imagine. they were so blue i dont think an artist could make them more beautiful but all of a sudden some one let out an ear piercing scream that even below the surface of the water i felt as though my ears would start to bleed. i resurfaced to see what all the bluster was about and realized immediately. on the beach i saw them. i had no idea what they were so i named them Typhon after the greek monster with one hundred head. these things were so hideous i hurt to even picture them in my head. i ducked under the water hoping these winged beast hadnt seen me. imagining what they might do to me if they caught me. at that moment i decided to to look and see if they were gone. as i peaked up and was horrified by what i saw. i saw the beast that was perched on a tree limb swoop down and grab a small child who was trying to run away and completly oblitarate him. i tried to scream but couldn't. all that came out was a weak yelp. thats when they noticed me. they came at me fast as they could but missed. that gave me a window of opportunity. i ran out of the water and straight in to the jungle next to the beach. i could hear them behinde me but i kept running hoping to find some pplace to hide. in the distance i saw my house. i tried running to it but it kept getting farther away. finally i was all but 10 yards away when i tripped. i fell and broke my leg by hitting it on a rock. i let out a horrifying scream and at the very second relized that this couldnt be a dream. in dreams you always woke up before u were sevearly hurt. this had to be real but how? how had i gotten to this god forsaken island? as i went over the posibilities in my head the beast caught up to me. i had no chance of survival so i let what was coming to me happen as i driffted back into my deep abyss of sleep.

well... Some formatting

well... Some formatting would be easier on the eyes than this one-block arrangement you have there. Also, better punctuation and some spell-checking would go a long way there. Overall, I like it, though. It's a nice story.
