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.
