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.
