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.

Echoes of the Blast
Gunshots and the rumble of engines filled the desolate wasteland. Max stumbled, momentarily disoriented and with blood trickling from his ears after a grenade blast. Amidst the ringing, he could faintly hear Sarah's desperate plea. "Get angry, Max! We need you!"
Max blinked, replaying the horrifying sight of their leader falling. However, Sarah's words cut through the haze. His vision cleared, determination glinting in his eyes. "Let's end this," he snarled.
Max leaped onto his vehicle and led the charge against the marauders. Fueled by fury and bravery, their group rallied and achieved a hard-fought victory in the unforgiving wasteland.
