Free Wifi or Free Wifi is a scary story about a young girl whose family can't afford the internet. He heard about a new service that allows connecting to the Internet for free.

My name is Masha and I am 16 years old. I live in a small town in Russia. My father didn't make much money and my family wasn't very rich. There are many things we cannot afford. One of them is the Internet.
One day, when I was in school, one of my friends told me that he had heard about a new service that gives you free access to the Internet. He says all you have to do is connect to their network, which is called "Free WiFi" and then we can browse the Internet without having to pay anything. It sounds almost too good to be true.
That night, when I got home, I decided to give it a try. I opened my laptop and searched for a network called "Free WiFi". The signal was very good, so I selected it and clicked "Connect". My Internet browser pops up and, on a black background with creepy red letters, there is a message:
“Welcome to Wifi Free! Thank you for visiting! We don't need any payment. We do not need any registration. All we ask for is some basic information about our visitors. Answer the following question. "
There are four images on the page. Bus, boat, train, and plane.
Below, there is a question:
"What's your usual transportation model?"
I cycled to school, my father had no car and we could never go anywhere for the holidays. I didn't use that transport model, so I just picked the train at random and clicked on it.
The message "Thank You" appeared on the screen and then, I was able to browse the Internet. I'm very happy. This is the answer to all my problems. Now, I can create a Facebook account and stay in touch with my friends on Twitter and Instagram.
However, the next day, while I was watching TV, the show was interrupted by a warning of the latest news. Local news reporters said there had been a terrible accident. A train had derailed and exited the tracks just as it crossed the bridge. Several carriages fell into the river below and almost everyone on board was killed.
I feel horrified. That's when I remember the website I visited the night before. I have chosen the picture of the car. I tried to convince myself that it was just a coincidence. I mean, what would happen if I chose a picture of the plane. Will there be a plane crash the next day? That idea is ridiculous.
There are 4 photos of the house: a first-floor house, a two-story house, a three-story house, and an apartment building.
Below him, with large red letters, there is a question:
"What kind of house do you live in?"
My family lived in a bungalow (a typical one-story house) and I would choose that option but when I stopped. My finger hovers over the mouse button, but I can't click it. What if my suspicions are correct? I'm wondering. That's a ridiculous thought, but I can't risk it.
Instead, I clicked on the apartment building, just to be safe. The "Thank You" message appears on the screen and I can connect to the Internet again.
The next day, an apartment building near my school caught fire. Fortunately, the fire broke out during the day, so most people were not at home. About 20 people died in the fire. Police said they suspected arson.
I'm concerned. It began to seem more than just a coincidence. No matter how crazy it seems, I have a sneaking suspicion that somehow, Free Wifi caused this tragedy. I decided that I would be better off if I just left it.
But that night, I began to doubt myself. The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it feels. Am I just being paranoid? How being able to connect to a Free Wifi network resulted in the death of more than 100 people. Who would believe such a thing could happen?
After pondering over it for almost an hour, I was sure it was just a coincidence and crazy. I pulled out the laptop, turned it on and connected to Free Wifi.
My internet browser is open again. There are 4 more photos. When I saw him, I was horrified.
The pictures are my mother, my father, my sister and me ...
Beneath it, in creepy big red letters is the question:
"Which one of your favorite family members is this?"
