An Almost Classic Pursuit

Based off a reoccuring nightmare I had to go through in elementary.

     Murky clouds filled the night sky. A sharp chill ran down my spine. Instantly I knew something was amidst. I observed my surroundings, trying to find something out of place. To my left, I saw buildings and street lamps dimly lit. To my right, a street, sleeping, shone yellowy-orange. The reflection caught my attention, baffling me. It looked like fire, but where was it coming from?

     Suddenly, shadows surrounded the fire's reflection, growing larger by the second. Footsteps pounded against the slick street behind me. My heart stopped. Cautiously, I turned around and spotted the almost classic mob threatening me.

     Tanned, human-like creatures and pointy-nosed witches pursued me with torches and pitchforks. My heart's beat returned, but its rate accelerated. With instinct, I ran. I ran as fast as my seven-year-old feet could carry me. Nervous sweat trickled down my neck and my hands moistened. Every inch of me shook.

     The villains' paces increased. If I had a tail they would have been nipping at it just then. I attempted sprinting faster, but it was impossible. My legs just didn't have the strength of an Olympian's. Soon my legs began to stutter. They weren't used to me exerting so much energy; I slowed. So as I dropped my pace, I felt a sharp, cold metal poke the small of my back. I arched forward and howled in pain. I was sent to the ground, tumbling, tumbling...

Murky clouds filled he night sky.----> THE night sky
That's all that I found as far as errors. :) I enjoyed reading this. I think anyone would. Everyone has creepy dreams at some point in their lives. This was awesome. The last sentence kind of confused me, however... What rotten corpse? Is this intended to be a bombshell-dropper? A knowing statement? Or is it just something you didn't really mention as it didn't really matter? I don't quite get it. Overall, though, great little portrait of a dream. LOVE IT.
