The Death Notice of Eamonn McCarty

With just one day left to live, a man scrambles to fulfil his life’s ambitions while stuck on the phone to customer care.

In a near dystopian past, all Irish citizens are given a six month notice in advance of the date they will die. Officially called an “Expiry Notice” (and unofficially nicknamed a “Death Notice”), they are administered by a recently formed branch of the civil service – The Public Notice Office. All notices are mailed to the relevant citizen’s, including Eamonn McCarty. Unfortunately, his got lost in the post, arriving with only one day left before his expiry date.

Peeved at the error and hell bent on getting it rectified, Eamonn calls the Public Notice Office Citizen Care Line, only to be greeted by Geraldine, a rookie on her first day manning the phones. Can Geraldine help Eamonn fix the issue in the short time he has left?
