Dropped off the grid

Disappeared…?

Lisa: She’s dropped off the grid.

Anna: Unplugged her electricity? Bought a wood-burning stove?

Lisa: No, I mean she’s dropped off the social media grid. FaceBook.

Anna: Without a trace? No announcement?

Lisa: Nope. No postings, emails bounce, phone cut off. Vanished.
