June 2024 Drabble Challenge: Get mad, Max.
So I went and watched Furiosa and lemme tellya, I thought it was cinema gold. Absolutely a wild, fun ride. With that in mind, this month's word play is "Get mad, Max." That's your prompt. You don't need to use the phrase at all, just let it inspire you to tell me a prose story in exactly 100 words. It can be Mad Max related, or something angry, or crazy, or post-apocalyptic. Hell, steal some go-juice and head off to Bartertown to duke it out in the Thunderdome. Or not. Whatever. Blow my mind with something epic, but do use standard English and punctuation or honestly I aint even gonna read it. Not that that probably matters to you, but there is a little prize involved. Everybody likes prizes. I'll pick the winner sometime in July, no need to tag me.

Going Down
A storekeeper yells strange words when I tell him I’m lost and must drive to the main road far below this cliffside village.
I follow his pointed finger, but two trucks barrel at my sedan. I swerve onto a narrow road. I smash through a barricade and my car is airborne, spinning wildly. I’m blinded by the sun. My vehicle lands upright on another road and I slam into a traffic sign at the main drag.
I open the door and shout to oblivious pedestrians, “How do you people get down here?”
A man replies, “Just like you did, Americano.”
