IN      THE     DEPTHS      OF      MAY. 
                                          
                                
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                
                                          
 IMAGINE IF  YOU  WILL, A  LUSH BLUEBERRY 
 SPRUCE  FOREST, WITH ROLLING  HILLS  AND 
          KNEE-DEEP UNDERBRUSH.           
                                          
 THE  GROUND IS SOFT. LEAVES  IN  ALL  OF 
 THE  SEVEN STAGES  OF  DECOMPOSITION ARE 
   PACKED LOOSELY TOGETHER... SOMETIMES   
 THERE  ARE  ROCKS. BIGGER BOULDERS  PEEK 
            OUT OF THE HILLS.             
                                          
 THERE  COULD BE, SOMEWHERE IN THE DEPTHS 
 OF IT ALL, A CREVICE  FILLED WITH WATER. 
    BIRD CHERRIES AT THE EDGES, DIPPING   
 THEIR LONG FINGERS  BENEATH THE SURFACE. 
    WATER LILIES, MAYBE. THE WATER IS     
   YELLOW-GREEN WITH POLLEN, AND INSECTS  
     ARE SWARMING ABOVE THE SURFACE.      
                                          
        WATER STRIDERS, MOSQUITOS,        
         BACK FLIES, CRANE FLIES.         
                                          
                                
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                
                                          
 IN   THIS   CASE  WE  WOULD   USE  DEET, 
 OR DIETHYLTOLUAMIDE AS IT'S ALSO CALLED. 
                                          
 DEET SHOULD  BE  APPLIED  TO YOUR  SKIN. 
 YOU SHOULD COVER ALL SKIN  THAT IS TO BE 
 EXPOSED TO AIR. IT'S OK TO GET  SOME  IN 
 THE  EYES.  RUB  UNTIL IT  FEELS  RIGHT, 
 UNTIL THE SKIN FEELS  GOOD. LET IT  SOAK 
                   IN.                    
                                          
       YOU'VE NOW BECOME POISONOUS.
