unedited K! interview

In your own words, Matthew, can you tell us what happened?

It was about 1:30am on a very typical summer night for us in Chicago. I was leaving Nathan’s place after doing some work. The area is heavily populated but has a neighborhood feel to it, so it had a distinctly peaceful and quiet vibe that night. As the building’s door closed behind me, I heard a blood curdling scream from a woman down the block. It was like the kind you hear in horror movies, which we’re all desensitized to, but when you hear it in real life, it’s quit disturbing. I ran across the street and down the block where i saw a man holding a woman down against a broken chain link fence on her back. She was screaming “He’s gonna kill me, someone please help me!’ I thought, “shit.” Being a relative midget, and the assailant appearing to be one of those of dudes who goes to the gym to “pump iron”, my only option was to use the physical laws of momentum to my advantage. I charged into him and knocked him off of the girl. Then i helped her up and saw blood on her lip. She was hysterical and begging me not to leave her because he was going to kill her and what not. I told her I wasn’t going anywhere and that she’s safe. At this point the guy took on this confusing demeanor. He was trying to tell me it was a misunderstanding and that she’s his wife and then proceeded to ask me to help him find his phone. I told them both to chill out and created a bit of distance between them. I called 911 and thankfully they answered quickly. Told them our location and that i just intervened in what seemed to be a domestic dispute. the dude then motioned towards me begging me to hang up the phone and pleading with me that he just needs to find his phone. i started to feel like he was placating me. it was like he was playing this shy, nerdy character to dispel the character i witnessed while approaching, and then out of nowhere he would charge after her again. i managed to subdue him a few more times, and each time he reverted right back into that other weak character that wanted me to find his phone. the last time he attacked her, i grabbed his jacket from behind and it ripped off ****************************************************************************** *******************************************************************************

*********************************************** (can’t discuss for legal purposes), and bam! then another or two and my lights went out.

i believe it was 8 to 10 minutes later when i woke up to the detectives picking me up off the street curb and taking me to the ambulance. i sat in there talking to the EMTs and detectives. i’ll leave more details out here. I did manage to text nathan the following “sorry nathan i got my ass kicked and have to peace out to the hospital.” i also emailed autumn from my phone and said,”i might be in bad shape, pause for details.” then i told the emts, “dudes, i dont have insurance, are you sure i have to go to the hospital?” at which point they showed me a mirror that reflected me, although i looked like Carrie from Prom Night.

the hours, days and weeks that followed this are riddled with bizarre experiences that chinked the armor of what i had always trusted the continuity of time to be. they are moments in which i’m unable to discern between reality and unconsciousness, so it’s best i end this question here.
