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.
