Day by Day, Night by Night, they told me to choose I chose to fight, where has it gone what i hold so dear?

It was scared and had taken prozac just two minutes ago.
1 -
But lo! The Prozac turned out to be an extract from a legendary, sacred & magical banana and turned our protagonist into an orangutan.
3 -
But an orangutan with a vague memory of having been human and how much worse that was. At first he tried to live among other orangutans but he kept misinterpreting what the others

were doing, a terrible leftover from his human days. Unable to exist in either world, the orangutan went deep into the forest, resigned to live alone. His tree-house was built with

Thank you, St.Molecule. I looked at that ninth fold for a couple of weeks, coming up with nothing, and then that ending just popped into my head.
