Paulsen's Come Back Short Story

Paulsen’s come back
“Get him boy!!!” shouted Happy, to his dog Dirk. I ran for my life when I heard those exact words. At that point I knew that I was was going to get hurt, my heart was beating really fast that I could barely keep up. Happy and Dirk have been tormenting and mocking me ever since I came to this small town.
Earlier I went to the store and he followed me, I went to school and he would torment me because we went to the same exact school. I had just moved to this town, and lived alone in a basement of an apartment building. Every day I go to work at a bowling alley/dinner and go to to school at Bradley Elementary School. I do this every day to earn money and have a good education. I also go to farms in the summer, in addition

I punched Happy square in the face and ran away. As soon as I tried to run away Dirk bit me right on the back of my thigh and and teared my jeans and some of my flesh right off. I cried a lot because I felt like someone was stabbing me in the back of my leg until it went all the way through.

After two days of trying to recover I went to work and tried to avoid Happy and his mut Dirk. I tried to hide in the kitchen of the dinner at work but he managed to get in through the back door of the kitchen. I scrambled like eggs and went into the bowling alley. I tried to hide behind the bowling shoes counter but he snuck up behind me and punched my right on my back. I scream so loud that everybody stared at me like I was the craziest boy alive.

Deciding to confess I thought that I had seen a spider but that it was a piece of lint.

I decided to climb out of the window and on to the roof. “ Hah! now you can’t get me!”, I shouted to him. He looked around and then he spotted me like a

While running I thought about what a smarter person would do in this situation, because if I thought like Happy and did what Happy would do it would only make it better for him because he would know my every move. Rather than jumping off of the roof I kept running and I finally thought of jumping in through my apartment building and running down to the basement where I live.

As soon as I went inside, Happy searched the building but couldn’t find me. He was furious, but me, I was relieved. Before work I put on under armour protection so that if Happy hit me, it wouldn’t hurt at all. When I got to work I saw Happy staring at me right in the eyes. I felt shivers down my spine like he was looking right through me. In my head I remembered that I had put on armour and protecting so I just began to smile. My cheeks were so far apart that it felt like i was being split in half.

Happy stared at me with a confused look on his face thinking that I should be trembling with terror. He came up to me and tried to punch me right in the stomach but to me it felt like a slight tickle. He tried again, and harder, I just laughed because it felt like someone was tickling me very
