Aziz came home that night tired and aching all over from one of the longest days imaginable.

Sighing, he threw his keys aside on a counter as he stumbled over to his couch, laying a bag down on the floor as he flopped backward on the couch. Finally, he could actually relax. All the tension from that crazy long day had finally begun to release.

He softly unbuttoned his shirt and kicked off his shoes as he leaned back on the couch. Leaning down to pull up his controller wedged into the couch cushions.

"Maybe I should just put on a show, doubt anyone is online this late..." Aziz bemoaned quietly, as his stomach softly gurgled. "Maybe I should order some food too.."

Aziz then felt a light bulb come on as he recalled a chance encounter earlier that day, "Oh right!"

He rummaged his hand down into his bag laying on the floor, pulling out a single large banana that had been gifted to him earlier that evening.

A strange old man had thanked him with it near the end of his work shift. Telling him not to eat it right away as it had to "ripen" for the magic to disappear completely.

Something about it being an "authentic banana," he'd just assumed the old man was joking though. After all, it was just an ordinary banana!

A banana was just what he needed, a quick easy snack while he waited. Peeling it eagerly, Aziz didn't hesitate to take a bite.

And what a bite it was... it had a tangy, yet strangely sour aftertaste, unlike any banana he'd eaten before.

Scratching his beard, he took another bite of the fruit, and then another...

Relaxing as he stared into space, Aziz started to picture a jungle full of banana trees. Imagining himself shaking a tree as a pile of fresh bananas landed in front of him, he chuckled as he delightfully scratched himself more, gripping a fresh ripe delicious banana in each hand...

...as well as one in each foot? Huh?

Looking down he had realized in his dream that his body looked different... much hairier than usual. His feet had begun to reshape and grow larger, with much more dexterous, finger-like gorilla toes.

His toes had also started to grow coarse fur like hairs near the joints, but soon the fur in his daydream had started to spread across his entire body. Mindlessly eating the banana more, he started to snap out of his dream like stupor.

Blinking, Aziz was back in his apartment.  He was still fully clothed, still holding a banana. But something felt strange. Off...

He looked down and wiggled his gorilla toes, as fur continued to grow and spread up his arms. Taking another bite of his banana, he shrugged it off. Something was strange... but what?

Perhaps he just needed to order some more bananas...?
