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.
