Another old writing attempt!

The first big, big, convoluted story I ever planned out, which I came up with about a decade ago (wow! time flies!!), I currently refer to as "CURSE1000".
Below is a short bit, taken from my old livejournal, which I believe was going to be a nightmare sequence.

Anyway, here it is! This was part of a first attempt at writing a chapter of a story (I did write a whole chapter or more), which ended with me thinking very poorly of it and not writing again for quite a while (basically until now), but rather, just accumulated ideas endlessly instead - something that really does come easily to me. (Which is why it's time to learn to write very, very well!! Practice practice!)

He turned the bronze doorknob and stumbled awkwardly out his bedroom door, awoken by uncommon noise from downstairs. Awareness stung him alert as the sounds continued louder, coarse screeches and chaotic volume was all he could make out. He scurried down the spiral of steps leading to the living room. Halfway down, the air became thicker, it seemed to saturate with chaos and despair as he heard the screams of his mother and father. He began to sweat profusely as he hurried down the remaining steps and turned the corner. It quieted down, but he could still hear a certain gargly, torn voice emitted from another room. The lights were off, making the living room dark and shadowy. With difficulty finding his way in the darkness, he crept into the room cautiously, eyeing the yellow light emanating from a room he couldn’t yet see. He suppressed his voice with his left hand over his mouth after tripping. His heart seemed to skip a beat as he glanced down to find his father, motionless and blood ridden on the floor before him. Flustered with confusion and dread, he stormed through the room to the kitchen and saw his mother on the kitchen floor. “Kai! Run away!” His mother yelled, holding herself up from the floor with her right palm. Kai entered the room dumbstruck. A large, cat-like beast shrouded in flame stepped powerfully toward him from the right. It stood on its hind legs, taking on a human-like form covered in fur. Its torso was covered in slashes and stained with blood, and the claws of its paws were huge and dark and glistened like steel. The beast roared ferociously with its head facing up and its breath engulfed the ceiling with unnatural looking flames. Kai noticed his own sword on his back, sheathed and strapped around his torso. It seemed to appear out of nowhere, but disregarding this, Kai took a brave step forward and reached for the sword handle. Although the blade is large and wide, Kai can wield it adeptly, but now Kai found it difficult to pull out. Not only his blade, but his breath and his body also felt unexpectedly heavy, so he hesitated before reaching for the handle once more. Suddenly the beast crouched slightly and launched its titanic, flaming body onto Kai, crushing him into the floor and sending the sword flying into the living room and sliding in circles on the floor. The beast dug into both sides of Kai’s chest with its claws. Kai screamed in pain as the demonic beast continued to tear flesh with the claws on its legs. Kai’s was overpowered by the sheer weight of the beast as well as the spiritual pressure enveloping the room. Kai’s mother could only scream his name in tears tirelessly as she watched desperately. Spread across the wooden floor, Kai’s long, carmine hair was slightly scorched as the demonic feline gave out another intense roar. Kai’s eyes turned and widened as the beast lunged at Kai with its fangs.
