    First off, I have to admit that I’m not as familiar with the Egyptian mythology as I am with Greek and Roman. The extent of my knowledge on Osiris is basically just that one Supernatural episode. Regardless, I thought you did an amazing job with this! You’re right in that it’s not the same as the stuff you typically choose to write about, but I definitely don’t think that’s a bad thing. Everybody needs a change of pace every now and then, right?

    I also kind of disagree with you about this having a lack of description: I actually thought it had an appropriate amount of description for the brief scene that this piece encapsulated. Sure, you didn’t describe every little thing, but you chose to describe the things that truly mattered, such as the rush he received from taking souls and the soul in itself as it was being devoured by him.

    Another aspect of this drabble that really stood out to me was the flow. There’s definitely a distinctive pattern and pacing to this piece, and it really added to the scene you created. I will also admit that I loved how you waited until the very end of the piece to “reveal” that the main character was Osiris.

    So yeah, as always, I thoroughly enjoyed this piece, and I hope that you decide to do more sort of morbid things like this in the future.

    I love that song! Death was such an awesome character in Supernatural; that song made his entrance amazing. tehe

    Anyways! I loved how short and sweet sour this drabble was. It doesn't dawdle around; everything is precise which shows that time is of the essence and his attitude toward the death of others is so frighteningly calm yet it's as if there's hidden excitement too when it mentions his smirk and smile. The layout suits the drabble well because it's simple but the stars are fading like the lives that Death must take. I liked that you chose the colour of silver for the watch he wears instead of gold; it somehow seems less showy and more dutiful.

    Nicely done!

    I think there could of been a bit more description on "death". Like how he looked and if any tried to run in fear. This is very short so there isn't much to comment on, I didn't see any mistakes and I do like the description that you do provide and how he enjoys his " job". But all in all this is very good :)

    Woah. This was awesome. I'm in full agreement with Kara, it would be great to see this turned into something more.

    I did catch a few mistakes, such as:

    the confusing look on his face
    and
    He loved seeing how surprised they found

    Love the layout.
    This is a fantastic drabble and I would love to see this get turned into a longer piece. It is very interesting!
