Hmph, reminds me of that scene from Dogma where the Apostle Rufus (Chris Rock) shows Bethany the note from Jesus:
RUFUS
It’s Sanskiit. It says “Rufus – see you in two years. Jesus.” Freaked me
out because he basically told me when my number was up. Took the flavor out of the remaining years…”
I really hope that isn’t the case here. But, I can’t help but think about her demise everytime something comes up now. Like, “Oh, is this going to be the moment?”
I don’t know if I agree with Rufus’s sentiment. It’s not very different from having terminal cancer and knowing roughly you’ve got only X many months to live. By all accounts, it doesn’t seem like it takes the flavor out of the remaining years, but rather revitalizes the victim, who makes the best of the time that’s left. But I suppose, as with all things, your mileage may vary.
But from a narrative standpoint, foreshadowing serves a deliberate purpose–to tell the reader something’s going to happen. Now the question no longer becomes IF it’s going to happen (assuming the author isn’t cheating), but HOW it’s going to happen. And so, it’s the trip, not the destination, that matters.
