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.
