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.

The world gone apocalyptic in a twinkling of an eye. As predicted. No one could have ever guessed we'd move so fast.
It would be silly to get mad, Max. As so many are to blame. There's not one you could label as enemy, sentence to burn black charred and expect it to subside.
Once the ending is set in motion, the dominos fall all by themselves. No breath of human air - sparkling exuberant candles extinguished at a lavish birthday party - need be added. The fires will die on their own once everything is burned beyond AI recognition.
