201 Words1 Page

“The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” “Pow pow.” Charlie, you shot pete vanhorn! The monsters are due on maple street is about, aliens shutting out power on an entire street. People start killing each other,and cars starting by themselves. I think the The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street is unrealistic because aliens can not shut off power on a whole street, they can 't start cars, and they would ask who was there before they would shoot. An important reason why I think this story is fake is because after Lez tried to start the car it wouldn’t start but when he walked away it started by itself. Charlie shot Pete Vanhorn without asking who was there. The aliens shut off all the power on maple street. All in all the alien will not control
