"Twenty minutes should be plenty", he thought. If he had it all to bring it all up again, he would figure out how to become a different type of animal. Not figuratively - to become another being, another animal, other than a primate. He had thought about it a long time until he was sure that he was making the right decision. "It’s something I need to do," he told a friend. He used to watch National Geographic nature shows on the television when he was a child. He thought to himself, “Boy, oh boy – would I ever love to be a giraffe.” It wasn’t merely an intellectual fantasy; the thoughts were accompanied by a very physical pining - sort of an ache that would begin in his pelvis and rush upward and downward with heat and nausea. "In twenty minutes, I think I could somehow make the change". Either that or he would become some sort of nightstand or a cellphone and that would be better.
