Comma What?

My father had left our house in the midst of a fight between Lindsey, and my mother. My mother was trying to get Lindsey to go with her to the Y to swim. Without thinking, Lindsey had blared "I'd rather die!", at the top of her lungs. My father watched as my mother froze, then burst fleeing to their bedroom to wail behind the door. He quietly tucked his notebook in his jacket pocket, took the car keys off the hook by the back door, and snuck out.

Story spinners; Option 1

As the old man approached my friends and me with a flashlight he asked what we where doing so late at night? I responded "Where looking for our dog sir." So he left and kept walking down the street. While we kept walking down the street, we found my dog Sneakers. My friends and I were walking home but my friend notice something.

I asked him what? My shoe was missing from my bag he said. So we went looking for it and my friend was barefoot, and we found it in the old mans house. He had a lot of junk in his back and front yard.

So my friend and I went to the door and knocked on the door. The old man started yelling a lot of gibberish when we knocked. Then he answered the door saying "What do you kids want?" So my friend asked "Can I have my shoe back sir?" "What shoe?" he said.

"The one on your desk." I said. Oh that one why sure he said. While we where about to leave he asked "Do you want a bicycle?". I wanted to be nice to I said yeah, I would like one. So we go home and lay on my bed saying "Man this was a crazy night". Then we get in our beds and go to sleep.
