dog track by Mikepyro

thanks alot Juliet. I tried to not let it get too dark, I think I did reasonably well to. :) Thanks for the flag.

I only got as far as this: “Thanks mister.” Mark replied Too many people take the time to punctuate correctly for me to read stories that aren't. I'm sure it's good - I trust Juliet's judgement, but I think I'll pass. I don't mean to sound harsh, but I, and others, have brought this up before. Foster.

Ok Foster. I have changed and corrected the punctuation. I will continue to do so from now on. I had no idea this was so annoying, my dearest appologies. No longer will my stories be ruined by three lines of incorrectly puntuated grammar.

You're a good writer, Mike, but good stories can be ruined, to my eyes, by even less...

Well thanks for the heads up on this Foster, I appreciate it. :) I hope other's enjoy this to.

For the record I thought this was an excellent story considering that the writer's only 15. I suppose I ought to agree with Foster in that poor punctuation can mean that publishers won't consider it, and some readers may be irritated, but if you've got the imagination to come up with good plots and characters (and you have) punctuation can be learned, but if you haven't got the imagination in the first place no amount of technical correctness can make dull writing interesting.

Well thanks Neilmc, and that's very true. Thanks for reading everyone. :)

A really enjoyable story, one that, if it were a film, the lead would have been played by Jimmy Stewart in my day. Is the author really only 15? If so I'm even more impressed and there must surely a good future ahead. If punctuation is a problem (It was for me) may I suggest a read of a book called "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss. It will be a great help I am sure...Well it was for me.

Another top story from young Mike, enjoyable from start to finish. No comment on the punctuation, I have little idea what goes where anyway. My only point would be that the man goes from being just into his thirties to being old, or is that my issues as I'm now in my early thirties! :) Keep up the good stuff nobody
