1. The Laugh Track Ghost

Craft a tale about a ghost who haunts a sitcom set, but instead of scares, it only contributes well-timed comedic input.

This prompt demands a unique fusion of humor, suspense, and possibly a touch of poignancy. The ghost, for instance, could be of a stand-up comic who once graced the stage and whose spirit still craves the limelight. This scenario offers an interesting opportunity for character development and comic relief. The ghost might even teach characters—and readers—valuable lessons about comedy, life, and afterlife.
