Re: Light in the night

You need to work on your grammar quite a lot.

Just to dissect the first few sentences:

"It was two am at night"

This is redundant. "2 am" is always at night.

and every single house was sleeping.

The houses are alive? The houses themselves are sleeping? O-o;

Shadows were present around every corner, and scary noises could be heard in a bush near by, suddenly, a raccoon runs out of the bush towards a house in search of food.

Mixed tense, run-on sentence. Your story shouldn't switch tense at random, and NEVER in the middle of a sentence. This sentence begins in the past tense "were" but ends in the present tense "runs".
