I'm afraid i'd be unwilling to punctuate a whole story for somebody else. Try your best to do it yourself. There are a lot of guides onlne to assist you. When you think you've done all you can, I'll look over it for you. However you must try! You cannot expect someone else to turn a block of unpunctuated text into a story for you. Punctuation is really not hard. Just google 'how to punctuate a story'.

This made me think of story I read awhile back, although I can't find it now. Apparently Mark Twain had running battles with his editors and proofreaders about punctuation, among other things. They vexed him constantly by changing, adding to, or otherwise "improving" his punctuation of his work, which he was insistent be published with his own punctuation intact.
Apparently, at one point he became so frustrated by it that he sent them his entire article with zero punctuation, and then filled a page with periods, commas, semi-colons, question marks, apostrophes, etc and included it separately, along with a note (which I paraphrase): "Here's is all of the punctuation about which you are forever complaining; put it wherever you want it."
Don't know if that's a true story or not, but it sounds like something he'd do.

Quote by Samuel L. Clemens
Fred J. Hall, 1889:
You are perfectly right. The proofreader must follow my punctuation absolutely. I will not allow even the slightest departure from it.

Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can forever be happy—will you let me be yours?
