Oh, this is cool. I just took a mythology class this spring semester and we discussed Egyptian gods. I am not sure that Anubis would be the one to be so evil. Seth was the real bad boy Egyptian god. He went and killed Osiris and then hacked him into pieces and sent all the pieces to different areas. Anubis was just hanging out in the afterlife, taking care of the dead. No matter which god you attribute these acts to, your story has a good bit of action, horror, and taps into the age-old fear of opening up an Egyptian tomb and getting cursed. I feel bad for both Rachel, who is possessed and Jessie who was attacked. For some reason, I don't feel bad for the boss. "Because I said so!" makes him come across as such a jackass that I don't get attached to him. One thing to note: you rated your intro as Non-E, but you can set it back to E. There is nothing in the title or intro that needs a higher rating. The story itself feels properly rated at 13+ Fun flash fiction to read.
