The “Ghostwriters” who were trapped in Little India bynecromancers were turned away from court today as ghosts are not a covered
class in New Romford law.
Section 8 of the New Romford City Charter was last
amended in 1997 to admit beings from other dimensions or timelines, aliens from
other planets, sasquatches and yetis, and pansexuals as a covered class. It has been amended thirteen different times
to cover a total of 58 distinct classes, by far the most of any city in the
country. Being a covered class allows
for full protection under the law, but ghosts have never been added despite numerous
attempts. The last of which died in
2004.
“These posthumous-Americans deserve full protection under
the law just like they had full protection when they were alive,” said Saul
Mortenson, lawyer for the Ghostwriters.
“They were exploited by these necromancers, and they and their families
deserve justice and compensation for their work.”
The Ghostwriters were held against their wills by five
necromancers several weeks back and forced to write paranormal teen romance
novels in the basement of a Little India building. Five necromancers were arrested but
ultimately not charged with any crimes.
At least one more was never caught, and there could’ve been more than
that. The publishers of their novels
have been debating whether to sue them or not, but according to sources, they
may ultimately not sue as their novels have seen a boost in sales.
Despite being turned away at court, Mortenson vows to
press ahead with lawsuits. “My clients
were kept against their will to basically work as ghost slaves,” he said. “And to write terrible paranormal teen
romance novels. Is this the kind of
horror we are willing to allow?”
