The Old Man in the Alps and the Sieve of Doom | An Absurd Comedy Short Story | Free Audiobook

High above Verbier, an eighty-seven-year-old Swiss recluse discovers an ancient, malevolent sieve with ambitions far beyond flour. Soon, Klaus Gruber is defending his mountain with an alphorn, a cast-iron skillet, a homicidal cheese wheel, and the accumulated irritation of a man who has been disappointed since 1953. The Old Man in the Alps and the Sieve of Doom is an absurd satirical short story involving Alpine warfare, livestock indignity, supernatural kitchen equipment, and too much cheese. Composed one evening when I really couldn’t be bothered.
