Offthegrid Stories

Dear Santa, For Christmas I would love... a shiny red sled to share with my sisters, wool lined boots to keep out the snow, a spool of gold thread to embroider my dress, a new broom and cake pan for daily housework, a cure for the pain in my sister, Five's, injured arm, a satchel of mustard seed (to keep Frau Perchta from visiting in the dark!), valerian root for the sleep tincture Mother so mercifully provides us children each night, an end to Father's dark days, salvation for those cursed and evil toys, and a beautiful new sister to replace me when I'm gone. Yours Forever, Seven

When Jamie Keller's father is killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb, her mother decides to combat the financial and emotional stress by moving the family from Hamilton, Ohio to the rural town of Promise, Oregon. Fourteen-year-old Jamie narrates the tale of the journey, intermingling descriptions of family dynamics with her own personal philosophy of life. The victims of Jamie's scrutiny include: older sister Jenny, who listens to praise music and wears a WWJD bracelet; younger brother Jake, contained and brainy, with know-it-all tendencies; and little sister Jana, lover of animals and sometimes the comic relief. In Reno, Nevada, the mystery begins when Jamie's mother fails to pick the kids up at the mall as had been previously arranged. After waiting for hours in the blazing heat, brother Jake finally goes in search of his mom only to return with an amazing story. He has located the car, and everything in it is intact (including the family's pet cats), but Mrs. Keller is nowhere to be found. Intensive searching proves futile. Their mother has vanished! Nervous about becoming wards of the state of Nevada, and fearful of being put in separate foster homes, the Keller kids decide to avoid authority, choosing instead to take the gamble, and continue on to Promise, Oregon. On the way into town, a giant JESUS banner is the first sign that Promise is in a bible belt. Jenny is thrilled, Jamie, not so. Upon arriving at the ranch, the Kellers are met with further disappointment when they discover that the 'ranch' is nothing more than an old trailer, situated off the grid. Readers relate to the characters in Off the Grid, Over the Edge and In the Groove. The Jamie Keller Mystery Series can be read out of order but it’s much better to start at the beginning. http://www.amazon.com/Jamie-Keller-Mystery-Series-ebook/dp/B00D30AVHG

Lizzie was on the run; not from bad guys, international criminals or terrorists. She was hiding from her mother! At age 20, she had left her grand house in England in the middle of the night with only a short note to dear mum. She had attended Oxford for two years when Lizzie's well-meaning family had tried one more time to arrange a marriage with the right kind of man from the right kind of family. Lizzie's mother did not believe that Ladies of her station needed a University education. Lizzie railed against that kind of tradition and simply wanted to finish her business degree and return to run the family estate and try to bring the property into the twenty-first century. If she failed in this endeavor, she would be forced to donate the family home to the National Trust as had been the case with so many of England's Great Houses. Lizzie's mother did not believe that Ladies of her station needed a University education.

Living off the grid, building a log cabin deep in the Michigan forest, a young man and his father encounter wildlife that makes life difficult for them.

It's the year 2342. Technology has greatly advanced. Artificial Intelligence is no longer limited to mere computers, or cellphones, or programs. Artificial Intelligence now walks among humans, in the form of androids, robots, self-driving cars, this and that, and the like. Technology is almost at its peak. Hospitals equipped with these technologies can bring people from the verge of death. Schools equipped with these technologies can make physics seem like basic arithmetic. Even the law itself now has access to these technologies, and ever since, the crime rates have dropped significantly. The lives of Kara, Kazimir and K80 are unexpectedly changed when they discover a glitch in the system - and the potential impending cataclysm that could wipe out the entire human race.

The Accordance has put into place a new society. A new way of life and with that new life comes many rules; rules that are to be abided by, or else. Rowan and Asher are only two of the Strays (those who choose not to conform). As the leader, Rowan- with the help of Asher and a strange man-must keep the camp safe from the Peacekeepers. Constant running and hiding are the new normal as Strays are given the choice (once captured) to conform or be put to death as an example. Ledger Cross. He will stop at nothing to get rid of every last Stray until all people give in to his new order. Why he has hatred in his heart for the Strays.. your guess is as good as anyones. Will Rowan and Asher be able to keep the camp safe? Who can stop Ledger Cross, or better yet, can anyone convince the people of his motives? Will stress and tragedy weaken the bond of these three? Or, perhaps, will they be their own downfall?

I do not own any of the stray kids. JYPapy does. . 'Looking for runaway buddy. Someone to split gas with. Leaving town soon. No weirdos.' Minho clicked post before his brain finished telling him nobody would respond. Jisung said yes. . "Why?" There's a kind of loneliness that sticks like gum to the tongue - in photos, in group chats, in the little nothings you swallow whole. Jisung decided he was done chewing. It was time to spit it out and run away as fast as he could. . Based on request from @nyalovestae . List of hashtags I got #1 in: ...waiting...

Cooper is a 25-year-old sailor who lives on and isolated island with his great Dane, Levi, and his old but loyal companion, Bennett. The past three years of Cooper's life have been calming, filled with sailing around the island and telling stories around the campfire, but Cooper can't help but feel like his life is wasting away-he's not living his life to the fullest. But Cooper thinks he should be grateful for the life he has; not everyone can afford to live a life like his. And he is grateful, but...is there something he's missing? On a regular summer morning in 2003, he goes outside his cottage to greet Bennett and admire the sunrise, and he spots a yellow speed boat in the distance speeding towards their island. It crashes into their dock, sending wood and dust everywhere. That's when Cooper meets Harper, a free-spirited, 23 year old woman who wants to explore the world.

Time to awake and this time get out of bed on the right side of history. Can you hear the signal? The noise and nonsense gets louder and time is of the essence. It will take us all to hear it . And we must ....for the very world we love and depend on relies on us doing so.

This is a story that I randomly had an inspiration for.. it will start off all cute and cuddly and then somewhere in the plot it's going to take a very dark turn.. mwahaaa. __________________________ This story take place in North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, when a young widowed woman decides to pursue an off grid way of life, with her infant daughter and small dog. Grieving the loss of her dead husband, she decides to live out his dreams and dive head first into the life they so desperately wanted to live together. However.. An older gentleman who happens to be the young widowed woman's neighbor, takes a sudden interest in the young woman who apparently has casted away the world, much like himself in various ways. Intrigued, and dealing with a similar grief.. the man soon decides to try and become friends with her. No matter how hard she fights him or declines his help.. he will inevitably become suffocatingly close until there is no escape from his presence and there needs. Take a chance, or take a hike.. either way I'll still be writing for our enjoyment.💚

Serenity Death was never meant to be normal. Raised in a pristine suburb with conservative parents and four perfectly programmed siblings, she always felt like a glitch in the system. Paranoid, erratic, and fiercely idealistic, Serenity quits college, donates her life savings to an ocean charity, and disappears to a deserted island in Sulani. No power. No plumbing. No plan. Just a mailbox, a mission, and a mind full of static. The Death of Normal is a comedy survival saga about one woman's quest to live off the grid, escape the simulation, and maybe, just maybe, find peace in the chaos. * Mature themes maybe. Coconut drama. Frog feasts. Volcano therapy. *
