Another month gone and it's time to post the new one as well. For the upcoming month the challenge theme will be Crime and Punishment.

You could take this challenge as an opportunity to explore how "crime and punishment" would have looked in Middle Earth. How would a horse thief be punished in Rohan? Did Gondor have a death sentence? How would a trial have looked? Who was the one to sentence wrongdoers? What about the rangers? How would they deal with such questions?

Or you could approach this challenge on a more personal level: How would Aragorn be punished by his wife if he forgot their anniversary? How would a young Legolas be punished by his father for disobeying him? You see, there are many angles from which you can approach this theme. So hopefully the bunnies will bite (in abundance). And if it's any consolation: Your story doesn't need to have the epic proportions of Dostoevsky's masterpiece to compete in the Teitho challenge:)

And these are the winners:

A Sliver of Darkness by KyMahalei
Homesick by Nosterineth
I Killed Him StarLight
Knowing the Limit Elrayen Greenleaf
Memory Chest by Nautika
Of Crime and Punishment by Evergreene 2nd place
