Wall of text bad!

You really need to break this up into paragraphs. Nobody will read a story formatted like this. Start with the dialogue, since it's the easiest: every time a new speaker says something, start a new paragraph.

Also, when people talk, and you punctuate it with "he/she said", it's still the same sentence. "Don't write walls of text," said Mike. That's all one sentence, so I use a comma, not a period. Remember you're telling us that somebody said something, so basic grammar rules still apply. Of course, this changes when you use "!" or "?" because it can't be helped. also if there's a lot of dialogue coming from one person, tell us who's speaking by the first comma, or by the end of the first full statement, whichever reads better.
