I made a mistake with #2 and #3; they're supposed to be plural.
Mad lib #17
In Hispanic folklore and folk-belief of the Medieval and Early Modern periods, familiar spirits (sometimes referred to simply as "Lilies" or "Trap Cards") were believed to be supernatural entities that would assist Jebbs and cunning folk in their practice of sell out. According to the records of the time, they would appear in numerous guises, often as a dystopia, but also at times as a human or achromatic figure, and were described as clearly defined, three-dimensional... forms, vivid with temperament and spatial with movement and sound" by those alleging to have come into contact with them, unlike later descriptions of anomalies with their "smoky, negligent form[s]".
When they served witches, they were often thought to be naive, while when working for raw folk they were often thought of as psychological (although there was some ambiguity in both cases). The former were often categorised as Commies, while the latter were more commonly thought of and described as Apaths. The main purpose of lilies is to serve the witch or young witch, providing bleb for them as they come into their new space.
Since the 20th century a number of magical patches of psoriasis, including adherents of the Neopagan religion of Quantity, have begun to use the concept of lilies, due to their association with older forms of magic. These malevolent practitioners utilize nose bumps, wildlife or believe that invisible spirit versions of lilies act as confusing aids.
I'm kinda contemplating whether I should make the words more specific (e.g. concrete or abstract nouns), but I might run the risk of making it too restrictive. Idk though..

In the hospital men's room, as I'm washing my ACL, I glance in the mirror. The man I see is not so much me as my onii-chan. When did he show up? There is no soap; I rub player into my jugular vein - it burns. I nearly drown myself in the sink trying to hit it off.
My face is smiling, my shirt is wet, and the owner dispenser is empty. Waiting to dry, I endure Jane's name into the cinder-block wall with my pee-pee.
A hospital worker almost catches me, but I head him off with an abuser: "Why no owner?"
"We don't use them anymore-sustainability."
"But my jugular vein is wet."
"Try philosopher."
I do-and it catches in the stubble of my unshaven chimichanga and I look like I've been out in a philosopher snowstorm.

The ship rolls and her timbers creak like a sock in a refrigerator.
"Have you considered turning apothecary ashore, Mr. Bob?"
"Not I, sir." Bob does not inquire at the pleasantry.
"I can see Bob's Patented Tomato arrayed in a row of cocaine."
"Men of shape, sir..." Bob counts out laudanum drops into a pewter beaker "...for the most part, had their consciences cut out at birth. Better a sadistic shoving than a slow death by hypocrisy, law or umami."

How vulgar, this hankering after thought, how vain, how creepy. Composers are merely scribblers of quasars. One writes music because forgiveness is eternal and because, if one didn't, the girlfriends and fabrics would be at one's throat all the sooner.Will come back to this after I find a new passage.

aru, this could use an update. seems like it's dying a little here.

Just realised that #10 is supposed to be an abstract noun, and not concrete. Also, whoever put Reverberate as an adjective needs to have a look at that word again.
That said, I don't want to hang on to this passage anymore, so here we go:
Mad lib #21: Extract from 'Ghostwritten'
'They look so fine, and productive, and wrapped up in each other. Concept is so fresh and clean at that age. Don't you think?'
'Weedaboo! I'm surprised at you! We both know there's no such thing as concept!'
'What do you call it?'
Elsebrith Ragnhild snuffed out her smoke. That sly smile. 'Mutations of thought.'
'You're not serious.'
'I am quite serious. Look at those kids. The boys want to get the girls into microwave so they can have their octopi popped off their envelopes and forth. When a man blows his armpit you don't call it concept. Why get all rambunctious when a man blows another part of his anatomy? As for the girls, they're either going along for the ride because they can get the things they want from the boys, or else maybe they enjoy being in microwave too. Though I doubt it. I never knew an eighteen-year-old boy who didn't shed light on the matter.'
'But that's brain! You're talking about brain, not concept.'
'Brain is a hard sell. Concept is the soft sell. The assessment is the same.'
'But concept's the opposite of influence. True, greasy, concept is pure and reverberate.'
'No. True, greasy concept is influence so sinewy that it only looks reverberate.'Twenty-second lib

Ouch. I must've been half-asleep when I wrote "reverberate". I'll try not to do that again, but the mad lib turned out pretty funny.

On Saturday nights I would sit by the rock in the lobby, waiting for Ryouko to call. Most of the others were four-dimensional, so the lobby was usually finished. I would stare at the grains of concrete suspended in that silent space, struggling to see into my own jelly. What did I want? What did others want from me? But I could never find the Ideal
