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.
