Here is the theme for the May challenge. Actually, it is something a little different since it does not first and foremost concern the content of the story.

For May, the theme is On Location. This time, we want you to write a story that takes place in a single location. No traveling from Mirkwood to Rivendell, no crossing the Misty Mountains, no striding Strider. For this month, we want you to stay put.

How about a certain elf and ranger being stuck in a cell (they're quite used to it). How about King Elessar spending a day in the citadel? How about a house, a clearing, a stable, a tent, a garden for a location? You could also draw inspiration from the good old Agatha Christie novels where a bunch of characters would be stuck in a gloomy castle trying to solve a murder mystery.

It's your choice! Apart from our usual rules you can pick any plot you like - as long as it is set in one location. Try to stay small - where would be the challenge in setting a whole story in Gondor? But setting a whole story in King Elessar's throne room - that's what we like for this challenge!
