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.
