she exclaimed and picked up the seashell in my palm with her tiny fingers. I opened my other palm, revealing another shell. It was identical to the one in Valerie’s hand, a light pink with yellow streaks on it, and I was immediately grateful I had found them along the beach as we got off the plane. “We can make them into necklaces, and then we can be best friends forever. What do you think, Valerie?” “I so excited!” she squealed happily. “Look, Daddy! Haze is gonna be my best fwend!” My heart melted as she called me Haze.

I asked him even when Varick was walking ahead of us. When he caught sight of the oyster shell, his eyes lit. “Oh! Who would have thought that the mermaid queen would give such a rare antique! That’s the recording shell!” “A..what?” “You see, the queen has a lot of these…rumors said that she used these to record all the events in the process of making girls into mermaids.” “What does that mean?” “It means it could mimic every word and every sound from a person and place it in this shell.”

My breath seizes in my chest. “But also, I see the way the spray hits that rock out there. The light catches it just right. If you stay and watch, you’ll see the gulls like that rock.

Lots of blues and purples and greens scattered through a carpet of chalky white.” “See?” I say roughly. “I don’t see that. You’re special, Lilly. Stop putting yourself down in front of me.”

she said in a voice trembling with emotion. It was the necklace Noella had seen yesterday at the shop near the beach. The necklace was made of several small sea shells woven with thin thread, forming a beautiful rope. Each shell has a different colour and shape, creating a unique and exciting display. Some shells had a pure white colour, while others had a soft pink, blue, or even purple colour. The surface of the shell was filled with natural sparkles that glistened in the sunlight, adding to the graceful feel of the necklace.

My fingers went instinctively to the drawer where I’d kept the small, ivory shell I’d found. I closed my eyes and saw… sand, not quite a beach. Grains of gold on brown skin, sun flashing against a tidepool. And two girls running barefoot, their laughter a braid of joy and breathless delight. One of them wore a necklace of tiny shells, strung together with careful knots. She turned to the other girl—me?—and held up a palm of cowries with a grin so wide it made my heart lurch. Then darkness, just like that, it was gone.

VIVIENNE “I found the best shell today,” Vince said, holding up a small, shiny shell he had placed on the nightstand. “It’s so smooth, and look at the colors. You won’t find anything like this back home.” As we tucked the kids into bed, Vince and Vera were still overflowing with excitement about the shells they had found. Vera, not wanting to be outdone, crossed her arms and pouted. “Yeah, but mine is way cooler. Look how big it is! And it has all these little ridges on the side. You didn’t find anything like this.”

Then there are some fish with gray-blue-green heads and bright silver-colored bodies, they flash like a light when they turn from side to side, as the light reflects off them. Moonlight moves and I will dive to the bottom, when I reach the bottom I will pick up a pair of Conch Shells. Returning to the top Moonlight is delighted when she sees what I have in my hands, as I give her a conch shell. "Oh Magnus it's beautiful ... the cream, pink, light brown, and bright colors in these shells are amazing!" I tell her that we should put the shells in the sun, next to the house, because the heat from the sun will make little creatures that live in the shells, come out ... “Ewww she answered and lowe

Pearl grips part of a crème and violet colored clam shell and brings it to Melody. “Mommy I found a sand dollar!” Mia announces like she found gold, as her voice amplifies over the ocean waves, she even dances a bit. Melody giggling, “Way to go darling! These are neat, to find especially the whole ones like this one you found. Aunt Harmony, Grandma and I used to collect seashells too. We made a tabletop out of them. It’s in the living room. Mia, I want to see you gently place it in the bucket.”

Lana’s breath caught audibly. Ethan’s shoulders relaxed a little. “I found a really cool one,” he said, holding out a spiral shell. “See?” I took it, turning it over in my palm. “That is cool. You know, these are like tiny houses for sea creatures.” “Really?” His eyes lit up. “Yeah. They carry them everywhere.” He considered that. “That’s kinda like us.” Something twisted deep in my chest. “Yeah,” I said hoarsely. “It is.”
