Annie's Idea

Chronicle of a Death Foretold sounds like a continuation of something that has already ended in the past. It was predicted, and is currently a death and cannot be continued (necessarily...). If I were to make sense of it I'd guess it was a prolonged death as opposed to an instant event, for one single event cannot contain chronology. It could also be going back in time before this death and accounting for the events that led up to it.
