Jack and Ennis's encounters were wordless, but full of noises.

"Z" is Zweibund

In the story, Jack and Ennis were portrayed as more of a Zweibund, or association of two against a hostile world, while the movie was more about unrequited love, IMHO.

“He didn't ask if Ennis had a watch but took a cheap round ticker on a braided cord from a box on a high shelf, wound and set it, tossed it to him as if he weren't worth the reach.”  Short story.   :)

Now bring me that horizon.♥We have our heading.

Ennis’ relationship with Cassie was an ephemeron.
