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.
