A very basic premise — Alice is doomed, and she knows it. Whether it's due to a prophecy, a curse, a disease or something Time Travel related, it doesn't matter. What matters is that in the near future, she will die, and there is nothing she can do about it. Alternatively, Bob knows that Alice is doomed, but he also knows he can do nothing to save her. Either way, cue misery and angsting. The character may also go through the Five Stages of Grief. They may also try to finish some important tasks while they still have time. Of course, this does not mean that Alice cannot be saved in the end — there just needs to be a period during which it seems like she is doomed. The seeming inevitability of a character's death can be heartbreaking, although if taken too far, it may come across as Deus Angst Machina. Truth in Television, of course. Being diagnosed with a chronic, incurable illness can invoke these feelings, especially if it's a degenerative disease like Alzheimer's or Huntington's. A not necessarily fatal but still very deadly disease such as cancer can invoke these feelings, especially if it's in a major body part where it can cause lasting side effects that will make the rest of your life miserable (such as the mouth or throat), or is simply almost inherently fatal (such as the brain or the pancreas). Plus, y'know, We All Die Someday — if you're "not dying" right now, that only means your number is still relatively big. Probably. It may be physically represented in Death's Hourglass. Might overlap with Wring Every Last Drop out of Him, when a character is on the brink of death, but takes a while to actually die. See also Secretly Dying, You See, I'm Dying, Like You Were Dying, Someone Has to Die, The Last Dance, Last Day to Live, I Will Only Slow You Down, Almost Dead Guy, Living on Borrowed Time, You Are Already Dead, and Whodunnit to Me?. If a character is still hale and hearty, they might weaponize this trope as Prophecy Armor, going on the assumption that they won't die before their number is up, so they might as well go have an adventure. Not to be confused with You Have No Chance to Survive, which is when the antagonist simply says "Your days are numbered!" or something similar, as a threat. Unless Alice is actually doomed, the statement in itself is that, not this. This is possibly a death trope, and it may include spoilers, especially if this isn't revealed until later in the media. |

Charlie, Kate, Julia, Steve and Terry attempt to track them down, but all are either missing or dead by the time they reach them, with one exception, Lauren. Following the events of "Precious Blood", Lauren is currently being kept alive only by taking a variety of pills daily for the rest of her life, as revealed in "The Drugs Do Work". | |

In AntiBunny this is the entire premise of Nailbat's story. The protagonist accidentally etches the Grim Reaper's scroll-phone data into his head, allowing him to rewrite the fate of anyone else, but absolutely fated to keep his maximum remaining lifespan of one year no matter what he does. Thing is, as long as he doesn't intentionally lower his lifespan, supernatural luck will prevent him from dying before fate demands it. So what to do with one year of immortality and the power to Screw Destiny otherwise? Become a superhero of course. | |

Belkar Bitterleaf in The Order of the Stick. The Oracle mentions that he "should savour his next birthday cake", along with several other less than subtle hints, surprisingly early on, but everyone forgets it due to the spell ensuring they only remember the predictions they paid for. The Oracle later gives Roy's ghost an official prediction (carefully worded to avoid Prophecy Twist, not that this stops fans who don't want to accept the Belkster's impending demise from trying) that he will "take his last breath - ever - before the end of the year", of which there are less than seven weeks left. There's no way of knowing how many strips that means, however. | |

Near the beginning of Dies irae ~Interview with Kaziklu Bey~ it is revealed that Claudia has at most one month left to live and is dying from skin cancer. She treats it as a non-issue and just goes about her life as usual best she can. Wilhelm on the other hand decides to try and make the best use of that time in order to make her soul as radiant as he can so that he can kill her during that peak and claim it for his own. Things end up not working out for him as Caudia ends up having to perform a Heroic Sacrifice to save him from her own out-of-control Creation Figment. | |

A non-fatal example in Sleepless Domain: regardless of when a magical girl's powers awaken, they usually lose their powers in their late teens, so many try to make the most of it before then. There's three known cases when someone lost their powers prematurely: Tessa burns out her power to heal Undine and loses her powers (which she isn't adjusting to well at all), Kokoro's mother Mitsuki lost her powers when they somehow transferred to Kokoro while she was in the womb (which, considering she was warned was a possibility and chose to carry Kokoro to term anyway, she seems to have accepted) and Mingxing burned out her powers after using her Super-Speed to get a nearly frozen Kokoro to the hospital, despite being severely weakened from losing her arm (which she deemed Worth It). | |

Steins;Gate: In the Alpha Worldline, Mayuri is destined to die regardless of the circumstances so long as they fall below 1% divergence. While at first deaths are explained rationally (being shot by Moeka via SERN's orders or getting knocked in front of a subway accidentally), at a certain point she'll just drop dead of a heart attack if all other lethal factors are removed. In the Beta Worldline, Kurisu is fated to die in 2010, and Okabe is fated to die in 2025. However, it is found that it is possible to "trick" a worldline by manipulating events such that the world perceives a convergence death to have occurred even if it technically didn't. |

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls reveals that he managed to survive an extra two years despite doctors estimating six months, meaning he outlived Sakura. In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair this is revealed to be the case with Nagito Komaeda. While it's never revealed in the main story, going through his Free Time Events reveals that Nagito was diagnosed with malignant lymphoma and frontotemporal dementia right before he was accepted into Hope's Peak Academy and has around a year and a half left to live. May or may not be subverted as he appears alive and well in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls and Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School but this may be due to his luck keeping him alive past his life expectancy. Kaito Momota in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony suffers from a terminal disease but manages to keep it a secret until late in the game, and ultimately succumbs during his own execution. |

The Bible also makes mention of how short and insignificant human life is in comparison to the rest of the universe. Your measly life of 80 odd years, maybe a hundred if you are lucky? It is likened onto a vapor or smoke, one moment it is there and the next it is gone as it is swept away by the wind. God who has existed since the beginning of the creation of the universe sees all of your lives, all of your struggles, and all of your triumphs as if they were blinks of his all-seeing eyes, they end in mere moments. The message is clear, it is humbling that an immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing God cares enough about you that he intervenes in our lives and how important it is that we take advantage of the days that are given to us. | |

Arata's reaction is more peaceful - as the representative of sakura season, he has accepted his fate, seeing death as more mysterious than scary. It is his childhood friend, Aoi, who cannot accept it. You, on the other hand, react with anger, as the representative of the hot August sun, and he is the one who kicks off the plot, instead of his partner Yoru. | |

In Grim Tales from Down Below, Grim is revealed to have been adding sand to Mandy's life-hourglass in order to extend her life. It eventually runs out, but because Grim still refuses to reap her, it effectively renders Mandy immortal, with the immortality becoming official after she accepts Grim's proposal. On the other hand, Billy's own life-hourglass looks like someone hiccuped while blowing the glass. Lots of times. And there's sand everywhere in it. | |

Magic: The Gathering: One race that exists in the Solar Punk plane of Kaladesh is the aetherborn. Unlike all other sentient beings on the plane, they have extremely short lifespan, as well as the ability to tell exactly when they will expire. This nature turns them into The Hedonist; after all, they know their life is short, might as well have fun and enjoy every second of it. A small percentage of the aetherborn are able to stall their demises... by sucking Life Energy from other living things. | |

Some of the titles for Everywhere at the End of Time by Leyland Kirby (under The Caretaker moniker) are ominous messages to this effect, notably "We don't have many days" and "A losing battle is raging." Considering the album is about a Doomed Protagonist dying from dementia, this trope is in effect. | |

Fate/stay night: The Servants. Their reason to materialize in the human plane is solely to participate in the Holy Grail Wars; after that, they effectively 'die'. By a matter of fact, they are summoned specifically to die, their energy of a heroic spirit is needed to fuel the Holy Grail. Though various means exist for a Servant to cheat "death" and remain after the war's end; Gilgamesh did so after the previous war, and it's possible for Saber and Rider to survive in the Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel routes respectively. Shirou and Sakura also fall into this in the Heaven's Feel Route. According to Kotomine, Shirou has 10 years to become an adept mage if he is to prevent Losing his life from overloading his magic circuits courtesy of Archer's left arm. And that's assuming he doesn't take off the Shroud of Martin and attempt to use Unlimited Blade Works. He does. Thrice. Sakura is in no less trouble as Matou Zouken turns out to have implanted a crest worm into her, which threatens to consume her vitality, and only the Holy Grail has any chance of saving her...well, up until her Superpowered Evil Side comes out, rips that crest worm out of her heart, and crushes it to pieces as the wound seals up without a trace. Zouken didn't see that one coming, to put it mildly. It is revealed Illya has a shortened lifespan due to being a homunculus that was designed to be a sacrifice for the war. Even if she survives the war, she'll only last a few years. |

In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair this is revealed to be the case with Nagito Komaeda. While it's never revealed in the main story, going through his Free Time Events reveals that Nagito was diagnosed with malignant lymphoma and frontotemporal dementia right before he was accepted into Hope's Peak Academy and has around a year and a half left to live. May or may not be subverted as he appears alive and well in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls and Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School but this may be due to his luck keeping him alive past his life expectancy. | |

Red Panda Adventures: One of the driving questions surrounding Mr. Amazing is why he was rejected for assignment for both the European warfront and the home front-based Danger Federation. As a Captain Ersatz of Superman, he's more than powerful enough and very willing, too. The Red Panda initially thinks it's his Smug Super attitude, but that came about precisely because of those rejections and he mellows considerably after A Lesson in Defeat. The answer lies in this trope. Specifically, the procedure that gave Mr. Amazing his powers only gave him a finite amount of those powers. Once they were exhausted, he would almost certainly die. In learning this, the Red Panda tries to convince Mr. Amazing to quit superheroics, but he refuses. Having discovered that Good Feels Good, Mr. Amazing declares he'd rather live a short life helping people as a superhero than a long life of doing nothing. In the episode "The End of the Beginning", his powers finally give out in the process of weakening the Nazi ubermensch Tevas enough for the Red Panda to strike the deathblow. | |

This is a defining trait of Rifts Juicers. The drugs that grant them their exceptional abilities do an absolute number to their bodies, such that no juicer can possibly survive longer than seven years after the procedure. And that's the absolute maximum - most who don't die in combat have their Last Call well before the seventh year. It's possible to "detox" and survive, but the side effects are horrendous. Most don't bother, choosing to go out in a blaze of glory when their time's almost up. | |
