Resolved Question: My horror story so far?
Tell me what you think so far, and any tips I can use. Thanks in advance

Most of the time I sat in my front patio. Watching the world pass me by. I watched as the old town of St. Petersburg became less and less occupied. Located in the state of Nebraska, St. Petersburg is a small town, isolated from all civilization. Surround by beautiful pine trees, it was quite well hidden. One way in, one way out. Normally I would sit outside watching the channel 4 news on my half-beaten 10 inch Radio TV or I would be watching my home town Florida Marlins play ball. The forecast for today was sunny with no chance of rain. So it seemed kind of odd to find the town covered with rain clouds. The rain started to lightly drizzle amongst the down hill street, which my house rested on. A cold blast of wind blew strong caressing against my bare skin. The skies darken as the rain got heavier. I observed my neighbor’s rocking chair as it slowly rocked back and forth, back and forth. The street quickly turned into a flowing river as the rain water flowed down hill.
It was then when I notice a baby’s bottle flowing down. After it ran a young girl, no older than 20, I would say. She stopped in my presence, took a quick glare at me and ran back in the opposite direction. Her face had horror written all over it. The sheer look she gave me was horrific. But the look wasn’t directed at me. It was directed to something behind me. What had she seen?
I was too terrified to find out. My hands began to tremble as my muscles tighten, trying to reject my movement. I didn’t want to turn around, but I had no choice. I swallow my pride and slowly tilted my head around, while moving backwards. What I saw will hunt me forever. A dark human like shadowy figure stood before me. It had no face, no clothes, no nothing. It was just a solid black thing. I would say it was 6 foot 5 inches tall, judging by my own height. As I looked up at it, I started to back peddle into the hill where the rain started to hit me. The thing arched its head and moved slightly forward almost walking into the street, up until the thing noticed the rain and vanished into thin air.
Millions of questions ran through my head all at once.
What had I just seen?
Was I dreaming?
“This can’t be possible”. I quoted to myself.
I continued to stand in the pouring rain. I was too terrified to return to my house. I ran up stream to find the girl who had seen it as well. I searched everywhere. I couldn’t find the girl. My heart was pounding uncontrollably. A cold sweat ran down my back. Goosebumps were quickly covering my body. I landed on my hands and knees as I couldn’t stand anymore. I was getting pounded by the rain and I didn’t care. I was determined to not show my face in that house again. Tears ran down my face as the thing returned. This time it wasn’t afraid of the rain. It shifted through the rain so quick, I doubt it was even getting hit by the rain. I felt my neck tighten and I couldn’t breathe. That’s when I notice I was in its grip.

“Let me go!” I screamed with horror in my voice.
I tried to grab it but my hands ran through it. The thing was like a black ghost. I couldn’t touch it. I tried to kick it this time and again my kick when through it. What in the world is this thing? I continued to ask myself whiling kicking and screaming for my freedom from its grip. Somehow this thing could grab me, but I couldn’t touch it. My hands just ran through it. In my mind I knew I wasn’t going to survive this encounter. But my inner self wouldn’t let me quit. I knew this thing had to have a weakness to it. Like every monster or mutated human did. But this was neither a monster, nor a human. It was just a thing.
I tighten my eyes shut, and tried to wiggle myself free. Oxygen was becoming limited now. I couldn’t take it anymore, my lungs were burning. Every breathe I took was like swallowing sand paper down my throat. The thing finally let me go by throwing me against the ground. I quickly got up and began to sprint as fast as I could. I didn’t care which way I was running, I just knew anywhere would be better than here. The thing quickly began to dash over to me. Just then I saw a parked truck and I slid under the truck. The thing collided against the truck, making the car alarm to go off. I continue to sprint. The thing recuperated and dashed towards me faster than before. Anger was now fueling it. I knew I didn’t stand a chance in this race for my life. Even the four years of track at high school wouldn’t help me now. The thing quickly catch up to me and speared me against the ground. It grabbed me by my neck and pulled me up. I was in its grips again.
The thing let go of my neck and grabbed me by my shoulders with both of its arms. It took me and pushed me towards its black body. I tried to avoid it at all cost. But my fight was futile. My world turned black. Solid black.

Im not finish yet. But is it a good start?
I made up a city and put it on a random state lol. And I thought of how I could make it flow from the patio to the street but i couldn’t think of a way that would make sense to me. But thanks for the tips.
