this is half of a request for :iconzoleitup: 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. this is the lighter version where our bug-squashing boys are not truly harmed by their experiences but are still stuck in a vicious circle.

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've been doing is no fun from the other way...

because i liked the idea even if it is a little grizzly, i've written an alt ending version of this as part of the request. that alt ending is darker though, so bear in mind the warnings on it as well as here. if you want to read it as well or instead, it's here [link]

mature warning tags are more precautionary in this version, because though the boys aren't really harmed by their experiences here, it's still got some nasty implications but it's a bit lighter.
