Death is the ultimate price which every human must pay. Most of the time, it comes unannounced. At other times, it appears to give signs of it's arrival. Yet, no mortal has been able to accurately predict the actual time it would come to take it's victim. When death strikes in unfamiliar circumstances, the bereaved are  often left in bewilderment; they appear  powerless because they cannot change the situation, yet they question God and the gods for answers to the inevitability of death.
