The Life Of Death (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #43 extract: The Life Of Death (2015)

Amusing for all of two minutes, this shows Death die; his life then flashes before his eyes, showing how he has lead a human life. Though this is somewhat clever, it chooses to turn Death into a human rather than find the humanity in Death. I then fail to find much respect for this as it appears to be more a gimmick than anything else. 

If you're interested in seeing this, you can just find it to be amusing, or you could see this to be a lesson in how to fail to utilise an archetype successfully. In my opinion, this should have built a world and story around a character, rather than inserting a character in a seemingly incongruous world. Check it out here:
