If it's a common feature of the work and that kind of absurdism happens repeatedly, you could make a case for Mind Screw. If it's just a one-time thing, then probably not.

I don't think any of these really count. I think it needs an YKTTW.
This is a trope that really can only apply in literature and other text mediums
The basic idea is that the narration says something absurd and the reader has to piece together what it actually means.
An example could be in a novel where the text says "Sally clapped with one hand loud enough to wake up John"
I plan on doing an YKTTW post if this is not uncovered.
