The story "The Colomber" by Dino Buzzati tells a story of mystery, suspense, and horror. A young boy idolizes his father, who spends much of his life at sea. He wants to follow in his father's footsteps. One night, he sees a horrifying creature near the boat and tells his father, who responds by saying it is the "colomber," who haunts its victim and its victim's relatives until it finally kills its victim. His father passes away and the young boy goes to sea, but he becomes obsessed and tormented by the creature. He eventually confronts this creature, who tells him he is not trying to hurt him, but merely trying to give him a gift from the sea. At the end, a boat washes up on shore, containing only a skeleton grasping something in its hand. The conflict of this story is probably most nearly man versus nature. Throughout the story, the protagonist (and his father) are at war with this strange creature of the natural world. Hope this helps.
