Narrative

While living in New Mexico, I was chased home with a knife. During school one day when I was in 4^th grade, my neighbor pulled a knife out in front of me and another boy. The boy ran and told the teacher, and the cops were called. After the cops arrived, they arrested my neighbor. I was shaken up because I was young and afraid.

After school that day I was walking home, and I heard someone behind me. (I only lived across a big grass field from the school) I looked back to see who was there, and it was my neighbor. I walked faster, and he walked faster, so I ran and jumped the fence into my backyard. HHHe tried to do the same thing except my dog jumped on the fence and knocked him down.

After that I ran to the house and called my dog to come inside, then I locked all the doors. Then I tried to call my mom because I was scared, and when I was telling her what happened, my neighbor cut our phone lines. My mom sent my dad in to town, and they worked pretty far away, so it took him an hour to get there. After my neighbor cut the phone line, he left.

When my dad got there, he looked the phone lines and went over to my neighbor’s house and told his mom, but she said, "My son would never do that." Then my dad came back to our house, and he told me what she said. My mom and brother came home not to long after my dad came back, and they called the police, but they couldn’t do much. After that I stayed away from that neighbor.
