In Fury Road, Max is tormented by the images of his daughter. So I wanted to explore that life of his.

I do not own these characters.


My name is Max.

My world is wind and earth.

His coat lapels flap against his chest. He leans forward against the guzzoline tank of his bike, the metal curving perfectly with the shape of his ribs. His presses his hand against the gas and the bike takes off against the remnants of a road from the old world.

I am a cop, a road warrior searching for a righteous cause.

Sand kicks up under his wheels as he soars down the road—maybe once a highway. He can see ahead of him, far in the distance, the peak of a glass building. What was once called a "skyscraper" in the old world. It is half consumed by sand, breaking beneath the weight of it.

As the world fell, each of us in our own way were broken.

He rides harder, eyes set on his destination—as it always was. He was a nomad in this world, searching for a righteous cause to fight for.

He wandered the endless roads, searching for a meaning at the end of each one of them. Sometimes he found wars, or petty gang squabbles. He'd leap into the midst of it, his limbs aching for a good tussle about in the sand. He'd save the obligatory damsel in distress, and bed her, if she desired.

The people called him Mad Max.

The sun began setting in the distance, burrowing it's life beneath the sand—like the old world had. It casts licks of fire across the earth, hues of reds and yellow, yet dragging the blue and black of death behind it.

The wind had a harsh bite to it, snapping at the exposed flesh beneath his googles. He pulled the fabric wound around his neck, up over his nose to protect of skin from the chill. Guilt sat like a stone at the pit of his stomach—at least he could still feel the bite of cold wind.

The glass building was half on its side. A pitiful, collapsed creature, half buried, half given up. His eyes filled with a silent excitement as he pulled up. He shut off the engine of his bike, toe flicking forward, engaging the stand. He pulled his leg over the guzzoline tank and dismounted the lovely, breathing bike.

His eyes roamed the sands, searching for any foot prints pressed into the earth.

Nothing.

His brow creased, and he quickly turned, glancing down at his own tracks. The wind erased them within moments.

He swiped a knuckle across his brow before lifting the googles from his eyes and resting them atop his head. He left the scarf wound above his nose, as the sun set deeper and the chill grew fiercer. Stepping toward his bike, he grabbed a knapsack that had been bound to the back of the bike, and hooked it across his body. He pulled his shotgun from its resting place, mounted on the side of the guzzoline tank.

The sun was gone.

He lit a flare, and began scaling the side of the glass building. The majority of the windows had been shattered, the metal structure still standing. And he shone the flare into the frame, gazing down at the memories of the old world, eaten away by time and wind and sand.

He moved from window to window, not stopping to enter the structure, not daring to disrupt the graveyard of an old civilization. It was a memorial in and of its own.

It's hard to tell who is more crazy…

He froze at one window, still standing strong against the wind. He brought his flare up, but it merely showed him his own reflection. Brow creasing, he pressed his nose to the glass.

Me…

A pair of eyes stared back.

His head snapped to the side at the sound of his bike being turned on. The engine roared. He stood up quickly, only to half his feet torn out from beneath him.

Hands grasped at his boots, his ankles, the hem of his pants. He tried to kick himself free, but was melt with the cold tip of a weapon to his ankle, and an electric volt rising through his flesh. Through another window, someone reached out and pressed a bag over his head. He writhed.

A blunt object met his skull and all went black.

… Or them.
