UFO: Unidentified Falling Object

Rose Avenue is a little heaven in the summer. The children play, the mothers rest, and Carlota watches it all from her chair on the porch. Everything runs like clockwork--that is, until Carlota's radio stops working.
Next door, Mr. Martirez's car dies. Across the street, Mrs. Velez's power has gone out. And up in the sky, something is falling. Fast.
