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.
