Zacharias
Zechariah

Zacharias saw the reflection of his face in the water.

Zacharias rose and stood looking down at the boy for a while.

He tried to give the old man some, but Zacharias turned his head away and lay very still.

Zacharias seems to be her special companion, at any rate.

Then he screamed something else and Zacharias heard the door close.

So, Zacharias told himself, that's how he did his job.

He along with his brother Zacharias are married each have two children a daughter and a son.

Late that night Zacharias heard the boy still tossing in his bed.

Zacharias and the boy did not see him, but they heard the soft sounds.

"One of us will have to stay home to look after the animals," said Zacharias.

Zacharias said, after sounding out the words on the sign.

I want to talk to him about something," said Zacharias.

Zacharias fetched the boy at the end of the first school day.

"Besides, Zacharias changed his mind after thinking about the consequences."

Perhaps they'd become tired of hurting him, Zacharias told himself.

"If only the rest of our meetings were so simple," Zacharias said.

I shouldn't have reminded him of his mother, Zacharias thought.

"Enough ammunition for a whole year," said Zacharias with satisfaction.

Zacharias and Sybille are left alone in the middle of the field.

It seemed arbitrary and someone had suggested that Zacharias should be asked.

The man had taken her away to the city, and Zacharias had never seen them again.

From the set of the old man's body, he could feel that Zacharias was angry with the policeman.

"Yes, it is a long way, especially if you're walking alone," said Zacharias.

He pushed it, stopping often to let Zacharias catch up with him.

He watched Zacharias take a long pull before handing it back.
