Closing In

Alone. All alone. Kelsey was costum to this, and rather enjoyed
it. No pod, and untied to other beings. He had lived this way for
more than a decade. He had swam the seas without boundries,
without limitations. The sea was his playground.

Kelsey had seen boats and ships before, he was rather curious
about them and used to swim up to them, spy hoping and take a
look over the surface. He often heard screams from animals up
above on the boat, but they never went after him. He swam
away when his curiosity had been satisfied. He simply dived
under, and swam away, making the animals wondering where to
he went.

Kelsey swam in the cool water of Iceland, where he had been
born once. He enjoyed the cool water embrasing his huge body.
He breatched to get air one time. Two times. Three times. Then
he saw a boat nearby and his curiosity took over his better
judge. He swam up to it, looking up high above the surface. He
stretched up, to get a good view. As he had excpected, cries and
shouts filled the dry air. But this was no screams of joy and
astounding. This was shouts of some other kind. They were hard
and fast. Kelsey sank back down under the surface, suddenly
unknowing what to do. The water was filled with the sound of
the engine of the boat, and it vibrated in his sonar.

Before Kelsey knew what had happen, a net was sunken into the
water, wrapping and cornering him as the boat circled around
him. Kelsey looked around for a exit. He should have done this
long ago, but he had never encountered this which sorounded
him, forcing him up to the dry surface. He looked over the
surface as he was forced upwards. He flipped his fluke, as it got
tangled in the net. The net was stroking his body, as he felt he
was pulled aside, towards the boats side. He shrieked and tried
to roll in the net, but it was so tight now, he had no chance to
move.

He accidently swallowed heaps of water into his lungs as he was
forced under the surface at times, as the boat wagged from side
to side, due to his struggling to free himself. Kelsey's strength
soon failed him, and he simply gave up, and started to
concentrate to hold his blowhole over the surface, in the fear
that he would drown.

Remember Kelsey?
My character Orca

It was a good while ago I drew him and wrote something about his life in the ocean.
This didn't really come out as I wanted. I saw that it is because of my shoulderache, it is trying to kill me xD
I was in the mood to draw, but I didn't know what. Not horses, and not humans for sure. Then I realised it was a good while since I drew Kelsey. So, here you have him ^^
