In Heinlein’s The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, during the war/invasion, the narrator’s young wife was killed, but “Kitchen knife in her hand had blood on it—I think she had time to pay Ferryman’s Fee.”
Just go with the flow. Sit back, chill and look forward maybe to renewing old acquaintances.
By the way Mr. Reaper, I’m Daryl. Nice boat. Could you serenade us with “Row Row Row Your Boat”. Unless you are a detail guy and have to go with Pole Pole Pole…
You pay the ferryman (no he doesn’t take credit cards or bills) usually drachmas (Greek coin).Then he brings you before the 3 judges who then decide your fate Hades or Elysium.

I’ve always wondered, what happens if you can’t pay the ferryman? You stay alive and don’t get to go to Hades?

I wonder what he does with all the money. Is he saving up to retire, or maybe he has a nice off-duty wardrobe.

At this point, we don’t have much of a choice but to ride it out while taking reasonable precautions not to fall out of the boat.

I hope you paid the ferryman well enough that he will put all his skill at avoiding the covid mines floating around.
