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.

There is nothing left, inside my walls
No thrumming life, no tiny two-beat heart
The sea has carved away even the harshest edges,
Not even leaving behind the memory of being
Just soft impression - no more teeth, no more struggle
All is returned to the waves, the womb
As you lift the empty vessel to your ear,
listen to the roar of the sea
and remember that we are not so different
