Make Me Human # 1: Seashell
Personification: 1) the attribution of human nature or character to animals, inanimate objects, or abstract notions, especially as a rhetorical figure. 2) the representation of a thing or abstraction in the form of a person, as in art.
Your Prompt: Write about a seashell. All forms are allowed. You will be judged on creativity, grammar, and how well you personify the object. Brevity and use of language will be considered as well as popularity, but the winner will be chosen by me based on personal preference.
Please tag me @ChrisSadhill in the comments and be sure to have fun. Happy writing.

Mischelle Speaks of Blessed Silence
Tell me, you have wondered about the Afterlife, have you not? and collecting all these seashells over time, have you never but once asked yourself? What is this, in such abundance scattered, left and right?
It is i, death. Lend your ear again. Let me pull from your depth the deafening silence that swirls down my smooth, pink-tinged mouth and neck... The sound of drowned souls that will never come back to land or sea.
No, your time is not neigh; and please don't be sad, for us.
The spines and spirals upon my housings are not a cage, nor labyrinth; but a fortress to protect the tired and meek.
They have served their time.
In the safety of my shells, they have their eternal rest.
