Free Wi-fi (Part 1)

Free Wifi:

Excerpt: Free Wifi is a scary story about a young girl whose family can’t afford the Internet. She hears about a new service that allows you to connect to the Internet for free.

My name is Masha and I’m 16 years old. I live in a small town in Russia. My father doesn’t make a lot of money and my family isn’t very wealthy. There are a lot of things we can’t afford. One of those things is the Internet.

One day, while I was in school, one of my friends told me she had heard about a new service that gives you free access to the Internet. She said all you had to do was connect to their network, which was called “Free Wifi” and then you could browse the Internet to your heart’s content without having to pay a thing. It sounded almost too good to be true.

That evening, when I got home, I decided to try it out. I opened up my laptop and searched for the network called “Free Wifi”. The signal was excellent, so I selected it and clicked “Connect”. My Internet browser popped up and, on a black background with sinister red letters, there was a message:

“Welcome to Free Wifi! Thank you for visiting! We don’t require any payment. We don’t require any registration. All we ask for is some basic information about our visitors. Please answer the following question.”

There were four pictures on the page. A bus, a boat, a train and a plane.

Underneath, there was a question:

“What is your usual mode of transport?”

I cycled to school, my father didn’t own a car and we could never afford to go anywhere on holiday. I didn’t use any of those modes of transport, so I just chose the train at random and clicked on it.

A “Thank You” message appeared on the screen and then, I was able to browse the Internet. I was delighted. This was the answer to all my problems. Now, I could set up a Facebook account and keep in touch with my friends on Twitter and Instagram.

The next day, however, as I was watching TV, the show was interrupted by a breaking news alert.
