In honor of Mother’s Day, Ed Annunziata, the creator of Ecco the Dolphin, shared a heartfelt story about the heroic dolphin and his mother. The story gives some background to Ecco’s scar, as well as the relationship between him and his mother, Elisia.

 I am not sure if qualifies as “Fan Fiction” since I created Ecco, but I am a big fan and I did write this.   Among many things this story has only been in my head.  I share it now because some things that are happening in my family that inspire me to share this particular story.   I admit my writing skills are amateurish but I hope you enjoy this anyway. — Ed Annunziata

The story begins with the birth of Ecco and the origins of his name, where his father tells his mother to call him anything she wants. It then flashes forward to Ecco and his mother exploring the deep ocean, where the pair run into a shark that attacks Ecco. Elisia, Ecco’s mother, sacrifices herself to save her son with a bittersweet conclusion that you have to check out for yourselves.
