Reading Passage: 'Letters from Yorkshire' with Science Fiction Context
In the quiet of the night, I imagine distant worlds where stars pulse at the rhythm of silent messages sent across the void. The landscape stretches endlessly, each corner holding secrets of the universe. I think of the way our words travel, like signals through space, bridging the gap between us. Perhaps your voice is like a satellite orbiting in the black sky, always nearby but forever out of reach. The snow falls softly, blanketing the earth in a white silence, much like the void that cloaks the cosmos. I see your face in the glow of a distant planet's dawn, a beacon in the darkness. Just as the stars are fixed in their celestial dance, so too are my thoughts fixed on you, across the miles that separate us. The language of longing, like a transmitter, reaches across the vast expanse, connecting two souls in the cold silence of space.
