Can you help me edit this short paragraph?

A man walked into the building. He looked around. The room was dark. It was hard to see. Another man came in. He walked to the window and looked out. His steps made a noise. The first man turned around. He thought someone else was in the room. He saw nothing. His heart beat fast.

Following these instructions please.

1. Change the general man to a more specific noun.

2. Add an adjective to describe the noun you substituted for man.

3. Add one or two adjectives to describe the room the man entered.

4. Change the word walked and use an action verb that tells you exactly how the man entered.

5. Combine any two sentences into a compound or complex sentence.

6. Move one sentence to another place in the paragraph.

7. Add a transitional word or phrase somewhere in the paragraph.

9. Use a direct quotation and punctuate it correctly. (Have the man say something or think out loud)

10 Change one sentence into a question.

A panicked father ran into the building. “Where am I?” he wondered aloud. He looked around the small room, its impenetrable darkness making it hard to see. Suddenly, a thief burst in. He hurriedly rushed to the window, his footsteps resounding in the small room, and stared out. The father turned around, his heart beating fast. Was there someone else in the room? But he saw nothing.

Old Jake stooped low into the crumbling, half demolished building. Old Jake looked around and saw that the room was gloomy. It was hard to see and Old Jake could see nothing. Another man strode into the room where he made his way to the window before looking out. His loud steps made the room echo. Old Jake turned around slowly. Was someone else in the room? Thump, Thump. His heart beat like a train.

It was a dark, silent night when a tall, mysterious man named Richard walked into a room with the lights out. He couldn’t see very well, so he stood in the far corner of the pitch – black room. Another man entered the room, and slowly walked toward a window to look out of. The pit – pat of the man’s shoes startled Richard, and he quickly spun around to see who was there. His heart beating fast, Richard wondered who could be in the room.
