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.
