The Castle of Paper Shadows

Children built a castle out of paper in an abandoned courtyard. They drew windows, flags, and staircases. When moonlight hit the walls, shadows formed that looked like real rooms, towers, and halls. Adults dismissed it as childish play, but one night a lost traveler found shelter inside the “shadow-castle,” waking warm and safe. For years, the castle existed only in moonlight, reminding everyone imagination can become refuge.
