Is my spelling / grammer okay in this short story?

You need to get Damen off the bike. Comma after "nervous". "Sungles" is one word. To say you yourself did something "bravely" is odd; maybe "desperately". It's not clear why you would have to "try" to lower your head. Comma before "Ever". Lowercase "h" in "He said reuringly." "Madman" is one word. Comma after "killer". "Wildflowers" is one word. "Nearby" is one word. Comma after "flowing". Comma after "noise". Em dash between "sorry" and "Sarah". Period after "Sarah". "Meant", not "ment". "Are", not "care". Comma after "stuff". Comma after "dense". "Damen's face". It was "peaceful and calm" last we heard, and now the rain is deafening; you need to make that transition. "Mystery". Comma before "Ever". (good name, by the way) He turned, and then he's gazing at you---you have to turn him back.
