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.
