The Complaints Department: June’s Loneliness

June is lonely. Her parents are dead, she hasn’t a partner. She’s thinking about getting a dog. Then, she finds a letterbox in an alleyway with ‘Complaints Department’ written above it. She pushes her complaint through the flap and second guesses herself all the way home.

Her complaint reaches the Complaints Department, a mysterious organisation that resolves complaints of an existential nature. Enter Simone, clairvoyant and kind. How will she arrange events so that June doesn’t spend her days feeling desperately lonely?
