The Mission (a short sorry by Creed4)

Ok this is a short story I started a few years ago, it is unfinished I was hoping people would tell me what they think.

The Mission

Traveling down Highway 10 came two young men. They were going to a park to spend one last day with their high school friends before they all went off to college.
“Just think, soon we’re getting out of this placeâ€
Tis No Fool to lose what he can not keep to gain what he can never lose.
What does it profit a man to gain the World yet lose his soul.
Choose Life that you Might live.

Well...to be perfectly honest, it feels rushed. Problems with punctuation (i.e. lack of question marks) combined with typos...
After about the a group of teens busted through the forest.

...make it a little hard to follow the dynamics of what's going on. My advice? Slow down a bit and read it out loud to help yourself catch problem sentences.
But aside from the format problems, the story could be a good one about self discovery. Keep working on it.
