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.

Get mad, Max
"I'm so pissed I want to break something," Ralph said.
"Let it go, Ralphie," Max replied.
"Let it go? How can you act like it doesn't matter? She's your girlfriend, not mine, and I saw red."
"You always see red, Ralphie. There's probably a simple explanation."
"Yeah, real simple. Jake had his tongue down Maddie's throat. The end."
"Maybe we left before we could see her push him away..."
"C’mon Max."
"Getting mad isn't gonna help anything, Ralphie. With my dad, I know that better than anyone."
"Yeah, well, I think it'd do you some good to get mad, Max."
