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.
