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.
