Synopsis for "Death!"
A man recalled the time he became scared of sea shells. Ten years earlier, he went to a hotel in Maine after recovering from pneumonia. On his tenth day in Maine, he walked along the shore, went inside of a cove, and began to feel tired. He decided to rest, but when he reopened his eyes, he had felt the tide rising. He looked down, saw a large conch shell, and took it with him. He returned to his hotel by sundown.
At 9:30, he examined the shell and noticed that the shell was yellow-green and had blue veins, rather than pink, which had repulsed him. He held the shell to his ear and heard what sounded like a scream. Then, he had detected an unpleasant odor from the shell, before leaving it on his table. After going to bed, he detected the unpleasant odor again and he heard the wind howling. Next, he found himself covered in seaweed and trying to break free.
Moments later, the manager claimed that the man had been sick with fever and wrestling with his bedclothes. Next, he realized that it was only a light breeze with barely any wind. Then, on the table, he saw the yellow-green shell with a strand of seaweed hanging upon it.
He kept his lights on for the rest of the night and in the morning, he went back to the ocean and threw the shell in, before rushing back to the hotel.
