You decide to shake off the distraction and move on with your day, choosing to ignore the shell. It’s just a shell, after all—nothing special, you tell yourself. There’s no reason to let it draw you in. You turn away from it, brushing the sand off your hands, determined to refocus your thoughts on something more productive. As you begin to walk further down the beach, you glance out toward the horizon, where the waves continue to roll in, steady and unrelenting. The tide seems a little stronger than it was earlier, but you don’t pay it much attention. Your mind drifts back to the stresses that have been consuming you lately, and you shake your head, frustrated by how hard it’s been to find any sense of peace.

Just as you take another step, you hear a sudden, loud roar behind you—louder than the usual sound of the waves. Before you can even turn around to look, a massive wave crashes onto the shore with surprising force, completely catching you off guard. The water rushes in with such power that you’re knocked off your feet, landing hard on the wet sand as the icy water surges over you. You gasp in shock, struggling to get your bearings as the wave recedes, leaving you drenched and disoriented.

As you sit up, sputtering and brushing the salty water from your face, you feel something hard and smooth bump against your side. Startled, you glance down and see the conch shell, the very one you had decided to leave behind, now resting against you as if it had been delivered straight to you by the wave. Its gleaming surface, still wet from the sea, catches the light and seems almost more vibrant than before. You stare at it in disbelief, realizing that despite your attempt to ignore it, the shell has quite literally found its way back to you.

tldr: a wave throws the shell onto you.
