A puzzling question

Find the mistake in the following sentence:
@ "What a terrible day!" thought Sally. Everything went wrong.
I guess the second sentence should read: "Everything had gone wrong. Am I right?

Hi The words don't look bad to me. The 'at' mark is definitely not needed Perhaps you should put the second half in quotes too, to show that it's a continuation of Sally's thought ... " thought Sally.
