I thought to myself, it was time to wrap up and head home.  As I was about to turn off the computer, the loud booming sound felt as if it was just right outside the office building.  As I reached over to the phone to call 911, I felt a red glare in the corner of my eye, I slowly turned to the window and I let out a big sigh, I hung up the phone and felt relieved.  Looking at the heart shaped fireworks in the dark one after another, reminded me that I have not had the chance to visit the nearby park, the sounds were not from gun shots, they were from the near by amusement park's firework celebration.

Sorry I couldn't get through more, but there are glaring errors everywhere that make it very difficult to read for content. Please edit your work and re-post; we're not spell-checkers. Also, there are way too many run-on sentences.
