Inspiration: 

I like to stroll the beach myself. Usually not that early in the morning though. Never found a porpoise on the beach myself. Mostly many tourists...
A visit to ASEAL, a reserve for seals, and an article in the newspaper about the increasing number of porpoises ending up at the shore made me think. 
Or made me fantasize; it all depends how you look at it.
And so is this story. 
Just another look.
A creepy look.'.
