This journal, miawithoutoil was formed as a fictional component of the World Without Oil project, documenting 32 weeks of a global oil crisis. Each day of livejournal posts corresponds to a week in the life of Mia, a young girl in Bristol England as oil prices soar and society creaks under the strain.

To truly enjoy this story, you have to start at the bottom of the second page, as the first entry in this diary is also the last of the story. Alternatively, below is a link to each story in order to aid easier reading.
