this is part of a request for <a href="https://zoleitup.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/z/o/zoleitup.png?11" alt=":iconzoleitup:" title="zoleitup"/></a> who asked for a story about a type of tf that is quite rare. the request gave me some ideas and i felt that to do it justice it needed an alternative pair of versions. <br /><br />this is the alternative slightly darker ending with a different fate for the bug-squashing boys that breaks the cycle for most, but at a great cost. it also leaves one hapless bug hunter stuck with his fate for a long time...<br /><br />a group of boys who have squashed bugs for as long as they remember carry out their cruel little game one day, only to be bereated for it by a passer-by. mocking her, they soon learn that what they&#039;ve been doing is no fun from the other way...<br /><br />compared to the other part, this is a bit darker and more grizzly since the bug boys get taken out in different ways and the boys are changed by the experiences . i think the warning  tags are enough though because it&#039;s nothing so super-violent as to merit strict imo.<br /><br />if youd rather (or also want to) read the slightly lighter version, it&#039;s here <a href="https://lz0291.deviantart.com/art/the-roach-hunters-hunted-140014494">[link]</a>  with similar warning tags but it&#039;s not quite as messy.
