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
Max thought there was something funny about the way the doctor looked: he had cocked his head to the side, frowning furiously, at her question. She had asked for a hysterectomy. It is the year 2050, and women are only to be used for their uteruses. No longer able to get an abortion legally anywhere in the United States, Max had thought she would bypass that problem by simply removing her organ. But the doctor has different ideas. "No," he says, pretending to be patient with her. "You will instead have a child implanted - your punishment for asking that."
