What is recorded here
Castle Madoc and lodge is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps madoc built the lodge to trap shadow rather than invade, because resistance is the shape of a shadow. Maybe the chamber still holds the last breath of the boy who saw through the pretence. Imagine the stones repeating his refusal, forcing every visitor to distinguish fantasy from fact.
