Far-fetched. We all knew it! We never doubted that the man would fail--[<this is a double dash, in word it should turn into one long one. I think this is how to use them. =P I think.]until he showed up and changed his ways. [s]Once again,[/s] I was surprised, [don't tell us once again if you didn't tell us about the first time =P] but he was ready to show us what he had. Careful discernment told us that he was lying through his teeth. I took a while to tell us that we were wrong.[I think you mean 'It took us a while to figure out that we were wrong'] Terribly wrong.
The stars where low that night, same as their voices. Lower then the sound of the wind that caressed their dark silhouettes in the cold night air. They where talking--I could tell that much from the distance that I was. The man that we all thought would fail was the one on the right of the bench in the middle of the park that I was standing in at that moment.[whoo. Long sentence. Maybe cut it in two.] My friend, Markus,[no comma] was sitting next to him. They where engaged in deep conversation. That was the last time that I saw that man. Markus would soon thereafter get sucked into the little game that was afoot.[maybe put a comma?] Ready to escape the world that he now lived in. Ready to run [maybe put little quote marks 'ready to run'] was not a good mind set to have when a man like Robert Thompson was in town, or [s]in[/s] for that matter, the country. Don’t get me wrong--I loved Markus like a brother--but the way that he was acting now made me angry, very angry. A touch of good fortune would be the only thing that would help me in a time like this. But there is no such thing as good fortune. My name is Jonathan Menro, and this is my story.
