Answer:
But my assurance was ill-founded, for in spite of all my coaxing, Nab only circled round and round me until I was dizzy trying to keep track of him.
(Note: There could be some definite improvements for all of these sentences. What I'm about to say may not be consistent with how other people learned.)
Explanation:
"At the sound of my voice there was a sharp little bark from behind, such as Nab alone could give when I had an exceptionally delicate morsel for him."
The sentence, "At the sound of my voice there was a sharp little bark from behind" is an independent clause; there should be no comma after an independent clause.
"But my assurance was ill-founded, for in spite of all my coaxing, Nab only circled round and round me until I was dizzy trying to keep track of him."
For is a conjunction; any conjunctions after an independent clause are fine.
"Nab suddenly made a dash so close that his flippers brushed my side. He snapped the fish out of my hand, and in the same instant he was again beyond reach."
There needs to be a comma after "instant" so that it would make an independent clause after it.
"By this time I had begun to feel pretty well exhausted, and when I suddenly thought of the undertow, I decided to swim back."
A comma should be placed after "time" to make an independent clause after.

Answer:
I'm going to have fun with this.
Explanation:
I ran, and ran until there was nothing left but trees in sight. I ran through the woods, my heart pounding and my feet constantly slamming at the ground frantically. I was scared for my life because behind me was a killer. A killer who slaughtered everyone I ever loved and is now coming for me.
I cringed at every twig that broke, and every leaf that crunched beneath my feet because I knew he could hear me. The autumn wind was cold and relentless pushing me back as I pushed forward.
He came closer and closer to me and my heart raced higher with every step he took that was closer to me than before. I did not want to die. But I was helpless against him. I found a hollowed out tree and quickly sheltered within. I heard him run past me and I stayed quiet.
As soon as I knew he was gone, I cried and cried. Everyone I ever loved is dead, I am truly alone, and now I know that no man can be trusted.
