Essay & Composition Writing

Can someone check my discriptive writing , are there any errors and things that need to be edited.

I was on my way from school, it was a Friday, walking outside, I walked passed this man, I seen that he had dark hair and white skin. I while walking passed him I smelled blood. I continue to walk faster and faster. I kept looking behind me and I see blood dripping from his shirt. I see footprints of blood form his shoes as I was walking in the direction that he had come from. Finally, I had reached my front door and walked inside. I took a deep breath and sat down. I smelled fresh roses. I stood up and I saw that my mother getting her leather coat on. “Mom, where are you and dad headed to” She replied “the local fundraiser for the animal society is tonight.” I did not respond, instead I watched my parents leave out the front door. I then went to our couch and sat down. I turned the Television on. “We have just received a report from the local police, a serial killer is on the loose!” said the new reporter,” The police are advising the whole community to lock all doors and windows”. I ran like a dog up the stairs. I checked each window to make sure they were all secure. The bathroom window I could not get to lock. The window is the size of a doggy door. I told myself that no one could get in. Therefore, I left it, ran down stairs, and looked to see if all the doors and window were secure. They were all secure. I decided to go to bed early. I walked upstairs and took out some orange plaid pajamas. They feel so soft up against my skin, I dropped my hand down underneath the bed so my dog would come and lick my hand. I did not feel anything, I looked under the bed and all I saw was some schoolbooks, pens and dirty socks. I turned the light out. I put my head to my soft pillow. I spring my head up from my pillow; I hear drip, drip, drip, and drop. “Oh it’s just the faucet in the bathroom, it will be okay,” I said to myself. I than lay my head back down my soft white pillow and go to sleep. I get waken up out of my sleep. This time I am hearing DRIP, DROP, DRIP, and DROP. I jump from my bed and walk to the bathroom! I walk into something that feels wet, hairy and heavy. I smell the scent of blood. I switch the bathroom light on. I look and I see my dog, he is hung up by his neck. His stomach is cut wide open and his mutilated insides are on the floor, at my feet!

You'll need to check that everything is in a past tense. Some of your sentences are in the present, and this is inconsistent. Otherwise, a pretty good job.
