Can You Hear Me Now? Speaking with a Queen Conch Shell

What would you do if you picked up a shell and it spoke to you?

In my YA novella, KISS AND TELL, the character of Verity the Sibbeccos (the Kiss of Peace) relates how she used a Queen Conch shell to talk to people who had the courage to hear the truth. Conch shells are the large fluted shells people hold to their ears to listen to the ‘ocean.’ The sound is probably the result of surrounding noise amplified in the shell’s curvy structure. 

In KISS AND TELL, Verity is commissioned to speak only the truth, sometimes revealing surprising and painful episodes in the listener’s life. A television advertisement recently showed people talking to a seashell about taking a cruise. The shell rang like a telephone and random people happily answered it. 

Would you be willing to listen?
