G-r-r-r...!

G-r-r-r...! by Robert Donald Locke hones a razor-sharp ear for petty grievances and divine hypocrisy, delivering a darkly comic short story that blends literary craft with sly fantasy. Set in a cloistered monastery that feels both historically grounded and oddly uncanny, Locke follows the simmering rage of Brother Ambrose as he endures the sanctimonious presence of Brother Lorenzo — the man with the beloved geraniums and the infuriatingly perfect piety. The tale explores themes of envy, repression, ritual, and the thin line between charity and contempt, using crisp, evocative prose to render monastic life with satirical bite. Atmospheric details—vineyards, evening meals, whispered devotions—anchor the plot in a recognizable medieval-flavored world, while subtle fantastical elements twist expectations without diminishing the story’s moral ambiguity. Ideal for listeners who appreciate literary short stories and dark fantasy with a satirical edge, G-r-r-r...! will appeal to fans of moral fables, Gothic humor, and sharply observed character studies. Tune in for a richly narrated, thought-provoking listen that delights in human folly and the uncanny consequences of suppressed rage.
