Jodie Whittaker might tell a bedtime story about a young astronaut. This astronaut is on a solo mission to a far - off planet. As the story unfolds, the astronaut encounters strange and beautiful landscapes. There are floating mountains and rivers of light. The loneliness of space is both scary and exciting. But the astronaut discovers that there are friendly alien creatures who help him on his journey. By the end of the story, the astronaut has completed his mission and is looking forward to coming back to Earth, and the listener is ready to drift off to sleep.
