FF – Dude
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. The photo was contributed by Renee Heath.
My story hasn’t really got a beginning, middle or end and isn’t really a story as such either, but I’m short on ideas and time 😦

Natural? Gotta be good for you then.”
“Dude.”
“Storm coming up. Should we move?”
“Can’t move, dude.”

Peyote is very strong stuff, but you can’t smoke it. You have to eat it. It makes you throw up, but THEN it makes you really really high in a different way than any other drug. It’s amazing stuff if you can eat it without totally tossing you entire innards.
Also, a tepee is NOT a tent. It’s a tepee. They do NOT blow away, not even in a hurricane. I know this because I built a tepee and it lived through 9 years of storms during all four seasons. Including hurricanes and blizzards.
Just saying.
I LOVED peyote, but it made me pretty sick. I ate it anyway. There are some highs that you just need to experience and that is one of them.

I didn’t know that about peyote. These two really got everything wrong!
I know it’s a tepee and not a tent but I twiddled things a bit to make the story. Cool that teepees don’t blow away though.

My tepee was the happiest place I ever lived. Warm, comfortable, safe. A but for the lack of flush toilets. Until the bobcat moved in, that is. Once the bobcat moved in, I kept my distance.

Oh, P.S. Mescaline is a chemical derivative of peyote and give a similar high, but it’s not peyote. Only peyote is peyote.

Yes, I read that on the Wiki when I was checking peyote was the correct word.
LikeLike
I don’t think you can really GET peyote anymore. It was always hard to come by and there are rituals involving how it’s consumed … and it sure can make you sick. But mescaline — that’s a pill you can take. You can skip the nauseating consumption and go straight for the high.
It’s just there are people who have strong feelings about tepees which go deep. I try to take other peoples’ traditions seriously enough to not stomp on them. There are things I’m sensitive about and wouldn’t like to see them made into a joke. Even a good joke.
LikeLike
I understand that, it’s one of the reasons I used a “tent” in my story instead of a teepee – which is in the picture, but that’s just to give us an idea for our stories. I decided “tent” was safer.

Ha ha – loved the voice in this.
And I don’t give a fig whether it’s accurate – never even heard of peyote – and so what if you’ve called a tepee a tent? It’s called ‘fiction’, dude. 🙂

A tepee isn’t a tent and doesn’t behave like a tent and also, it has special properties for Native Americans who DEFINITELY know it isn’t a tent. The cone it forms and the way it’s held together makes it astonishingly strong and very, very hard to blow over. Basically, they don’t blow over.
They can rot from age and too much rain, though that takes years and doesn’t happen in a hurry. They can be occupied by wild animals who render it unfriendly for humans. They can be pushed over if hit by a herd of buffalo — or burned. But a strong wind? Nah.
And don’t knock it till you’ve tried one.
There are TONS of tents in this world. You can buy them at Walmart or LL Bean or any sports store. But tepees and yurts are NOT tents. They are homes. People live in them.
As for whether or not there was a storm — if they were SMOKING peyote? Um … kind of hard to know since smoking it doesn’t really get the job done.
Tepees are special.
