Slow Motion Attack

At an anti Viet Nam war protest in NYC our small group was attacked repeatedly. When we went to leave they grabbed a frail young kid, one holding him and another began to hit him.

I slung my camera over my back and jumped on the back of the guy pummeling the kid. When he turned to come after me I tried to melt into the crowd but couldn't. As he charged at me I experienced the slow motion phenomena and was able to knock him out with one punch.

I would say it wasn't memory but the speeding up of messenger cells
