Expectations usage: is this sentence correct?

Question

A looming sense of unease from a tiny bit of expectation for (or of?) things we don't know yet about.

Hey guys, I am a foreigner and would like to add this phrase in one of my texts; however, I feel like it is a bit off. Could let me know if it looks alright, and if not, where could I improve? Thank you

expectation = the feeling of expecting something to happen
Cambridge dictionary

Your sentence thus means
"... a looming sense of unease from a tiny bit of the feeling of expecting something to happen." The something is "things we don't know yet about".
Or, with my parenthetic explanatory comments:
"... a looming sense of unease (that comes) from a tiny bit of the feeling of expecting something (we don't yet know what but we fear it will be nasty, hence our unease) to happen.
