Challenge
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.

Max
Ymir had almost turned him away.
Despite the shuddering, broken mess on his porch.
There were too few places in his house to hide.
Dad's voice would go coarse and piercing, putting a deep tenor to work.
Mom-- Mom was a banshee. No, a Fury with how she would speak and the awful things she would hurl at someone twice her size. Besides, how else would one hurt a person twice their size?
While Max could only hide.
Hide and hum.
Hum until the door slammed and his mother moaned.
Oh. If Annica had made a sound like that... oh.
