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.
