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.

“In another dimension, where we don’t save the world”
You used to say we should start a revolution.
Now you're covered in ambition, blindfolded in submission, flaunting your cheap suit of wolverine, infused with denial to the extreme.
This brand of you
does not fit me,
I'm into hope;
you're into murdering
my dreams.
Clawing at your layers,
but the grime from your wasted integrity
gets under my nails,
and I'm tired of scrubbing them clean.
I keep my bags packed,
full of possibilities,
But I keep missing my opportunities,
fused to you and who
you used to be.
Remember when we used to want to start a revolution?
