How did that not make any
?
It makes perfect
sense if you read it. Want me to break it down for you? Ok I'll do that.
Oh, I've got a great story about something like this... - (Introduction)
The mother of a good friend of mine married a man who got out of prison recently. - (My bud's mom got married. The husband just got out of jail.)
He told me about something that happened the day he went in. - (The husband told me a story.)
Butch (the man) is about 6'1'', so he's not a small person. - (Size explination for reference and to allow the reader to visualize)
Anyhow, he got in and the first person he met was a black man. - (Beginning of the story Butch told me)
This black man, who was several inches short of 7 foot, walked up to Butch. He had a patch over one eye. - (Physical description of the black man - This is to allow the reader to picture him.)
The black man held out his hand. "Hi," said the black man. "My name's Love." - (This is what the black man said to Butch. Though the sentences aren't in the same set of quotation marks, it is proper English, and is, in no way, flawed.)
*cringe* - (the act of me cringing)
p.s. Try to read next time. Thaaanks.
