They come from everywhere - A Sci Fi Short - Part 1 (rough edit, stream of thought)

a long time ago, when tube socks with the three colored stripes at the top were super popular
there was a kid
who was having terrible dreams every night
timmy would have these dreams every night
and then when Timmy was 8
his dreams changed
instead of being random hauntings of terror visions
it was just him waking up in his home, going outside
and the neighborhood completely empty of people
there were still animals, birds, bugs, you could hear the birds, sometimes a dog would bark in the distance
but it was so peaceful
and a dramatic change from the horrors he had always experienced at night
after a couple of weeks of these peaceful dreams
he noticed something seemed to be growing out of the center of the road
in the circle at the end of the street he lived on
so every day he would wake up, go to schooll, do school, go home, do homework, then read dictionaries and thesauruses and encyclopedias
and he begged his mom to take him to the library all the time
Timmy started reading a lot
a ridiculous amount
400+ pages a night
whole novels in a single night before bed
anyways
He would wake up from this peaceful dream do his school
then the after school, dinner, studying, reading, then sleep
and he looked forward to sleep
and finding out what was growing out of the cul-de-sac
it had been a week or so now
he wasn't reading 400 pages fast yet, that would come in time, a few months, but he was reading intently
One night he eagerly falls asleep, exhausted after a long day of school, studying, and reading
and he walks down to the cul-de-sac at the end of his street
and he doesn't even have to get around the corner, there was a two story house blocking the circle
and a little 70 degree turn in the road, so the circle was behind'ish the house
there was a tower coming out of the ground !!!
and it had huge holes in it, 5 ish foot tall holes, 3 ish foot wide, huge enough for a kid or a small adult to pass through !
Timmy started running towards the tower, it wasn't far, only 4 houses down
he could see the tower already above the trees
It grew so much last night! It was only like 4 foot tall the previous night!

Timmy gets to the tower, puts his hands on his knees
tired from the running
then he kind of realizes, hey wait, this is a dream, I'm not really tired
so he gives up the facade of being tired and stands back straight
That's when he realizes the clouds are swirling above him
directly over the tower
like it's going to create a tornado
and the vortex surely will soon come down on the tower ! Timmy didn't know what to think, the clouds looked very ominous, very dark, very.. stormy
there was no thunder, or such yet tho, It still seemed to be a nice day
That's when Timmy realize there was no animal sounds anymore, none, That creeped him out some
he started getting worried
Was this all a trick? A trick to make his dreams even worse than they had ever been his entire life so far ?
He had never had solid dreams
They had always been abstract visions of torture and screams and terror and monsters eating monsters and things he had hard times explaining
something out of the scary movies his dad watched on tv late at night sometimes and he would sneak to the end of the hallway and watch till dad noticed
but, far far worse than those movies
Timmy started backing away from the tower
then he heard the thunder
timmy started backing away faster and he tripped over the curb, landing on his rear
this caused him to look up again
as he had been panning left and right looking for signs of monsters coming from behind tree's or houses
the vortex was coming down like a tornado !!!!
His eyes panned down again and he noticed something moving at one of the smaller holes at the top of the tower
something was...
coming to the entrance of one of the top holes
Timmy gulped a little, his heart started beating, he tried to remind himself it was just a dream

As he started at the what appeared to be a two foot oval hole at the top of the tower
the hole started staring back down at home
oh my god
it was an eyeball
that's when he noticed ALL the holes had movement in them now
and as he watched, material filled all the holes
and they were all eyeballs. weird super oval eyeballs
Timmy didn't know what to do or what to think
he didn't precisely FEEL the scary feelings he had always had in his other nightmare dreams
but this just, was weird, it was like one of the monsters from his scary dreams was breaking into this peaceful dream
and he didn't know what to do, how to stop it, or even if he could
then he woke up

The alarm was going off, Dad was yelling for everyone to get up, that it was breakfast time then school time, like everyday
Timmy went to school but couldn't keep his mind on anything, he drifted in and out of his daily classes
he was about to turn 9 in a couple of weeks too
so he thought a bit about what presents he was going to get
Timmy got out of school, took the bus home, and sat in front of the cartoons like his younger brothers
Mom asked him if he was all right, No reading today?
No mom, I'm just tired, Timmy told his mom
he ate dinner quietly and then watched cartoons with his brothers till it was bedtime
He brushed his teeth, crawled into bed
and wondered where the dreams were going to take him tonight
If it was just going to be all nightmares again
He woke up in the dream, in his bed, back in the peaceful dream
Timmy got out of bed, and went to the window
The dark cloud and it's vortex was still spinning
the vortex had created a tail of spinning clouds and it looked to be almost touching the top of the tower, which also looked to be about a story higher than it was last night, The eyeballs were floating around in their sockets
as if they couldn't find anything interesting to stare at anymore so were just wandering around without really looking at anything
Timmy summoned his courage, He had faced scary things in his dreams before, This was not anything different
He started to leave his room
then decided that today he would actually get dressed, instead of roaming around the empty neighborhood in his pajamas
because if he had to face monsters, he may as well be dressed for it
Timmy got dressed, In his Sunday best, The suit that always hung on the very end of the rod in his closet for special occasions, his family didn't really go to church but his Dad liked everyone to dress up when they flew or went to museums or visit grandparents or whatever
Timmy then marched out of his house, Making sure to lock the front door behind him
He had thought about this all day
He was not going to let monsters invade his peaceful dream
and he was going to go down there, and do something, he didn't know what yet
Even though it was a dream, He thought that maybe some rules still worked since this place looked so, so very real, so much like a perfect copy
so he locked his front door behind him as he went out
walked to the end of the yard
took one last look at his house
then he stepped into the street and marched down to the cul-de-sac
Timmy thought to himself "I should have been paying more attention to the tower"
because all of the eyes that we could see were staring straight at him
if he turned a little to the right in his walk, the eyes would follow
if he turned left, the eyes would follow
It was very creepy, and scary, but he wasn't going to be deterred, IT was a DREAM after all.

He arrived at the tower, Standing about twenty feet away from it, he stood on the concrete that made up part of the curb next to the road
he stared at the tower
the tower stared at him
He stared at the tower some more, minutes passed
the tower just stared back
the eyes were not wandering around like they had been when he looked through the blinds out of the window at his house
they were focused directly on Timmy, not waving, not blinking, not shaking.
"What do you want?" Timmy finally asked the tower when he couldn't figure out what else to do and the silence and staring seemed to become awkward
A low thunder rolled across the clouds overhead, from Timmy's left to his right
The eyes still did not move
Timmy didn't know what to do
so he asked again, but louder
with more demand
"What. Do. You. Want?" Timmy said very loudly
The thunder rolled louder in response, from the left side of the sky to the right, in the direction he was facing
and when the thunder got to the right side, there was a crack, and the thunder roll ended
the crack made Timmy jump a little
the eyes moved to follow Timmy's small scare jump
Then the thunder rolled from the right side to the left
then back again the other way
and it kept doing this for what seemed forever
Timmy was getting confused, and a little scared
Timmy says "WELL????"

the thunder stopped
and the cloud vortex tail grew longer
and touched the ground in front of Timmy
Then it grew thicker
then all the clouds, all the clouds came down
into the spot in front of Timmy
and the skies were clear again

There was a roiling vortex of very very thick looking clouds, about the size of a man.

It was just... standing there. Timmy realizing he is still sitting on the grass, finally decided he should get up off the ground and stand up
"Hello?" Timmy asked the cloud person
There were flashes of light, not too bright, like a flash light, streamers, lightning! He could now see lightning inside the cloud standing in front of him
Then he heard it. It was. static, Timmy wasn't sure what he was hearing.
The cloud was making a static noise
He stared at the cloud person
and the cloud person continued to be a mostly humanoid shape with swirling clouds and lightning and static noises
That's when he realized what he was hearing
He was hearing electrical arcs, last year the family was eating outside a dairy queen when a small substation across the road started arc'ing and then the power station shut off, and dairy queen lost power
His Dad had told him and his brother that scary loud noise and bright light like lightning was electrical arc'ing
The cloud person was arc'ing lightning bolts
Then he thought he could make out words

"Can you hear me?" He asked the cloud person
