Gipdac's note: Okay, there are going to be two alternate endings to this story. This is the first one.
(Alternate ending 1)
RJ aimed the Magnum handgun at his own head.
The Reaper hissed.
"What do you think you're doing RJ?"
"I'm going to Hell anyway. I'd rather kill myself that kill another friend. No…Another Brother."
RJ rubbed Hammy's head tenderly.
"I love ya, buddy. Thanks. And I'm sorry we couldn't have been best friends longer…"
RJ fired the Magnum.
Bits of his blood, skull, and brain were blown onto the ground.
His limp body fell.
The Reaper hissed, and faded into the night.
(Later)
The other Hedgies woke up, and found RJ's body.
No one ever found out why he did it…
