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.
