Time Deer, by Craig Strete
Craig Strete is a fine author from the intersection of Native American and stoner culture, with lots of deeply surreal work to his name. The collection this story is in, If All Else Fails, has an introduction by Jose Luis Borges, no less. This story is just a little taste, there is a better example coming, but Time Deer is representative. Nominally about an old man being committed, it wanders in to explore what Native American life ending would be like, as his mind wanders away. It's short, so painted in stark caricature, but indicative nonetheless. The collection is worth checking out.
