Rewriting the Ghost Code

Write a story where the protagonists devise, decode or discover a set of rules that the spirits in their world must follow.

This prompt allows you to explore foundational structures of the supernatural world. What are the rules that bind the spirits? Would they be broken or revised for any purpose? How do these restrictions affect both human and spectral lives? This theme encourages creating a whole new fantasy microsystem, exploring the concept of ‘hierarchy beyond life’ and how these rules would influence interactions between the spiritual and human world.
