I don't know why it took me so long to figure out who these folks were. Also, I see you there, Clancy!

Is it weird that I now have a version of the Four Horsemen (technically Three Horsemen and a Lady) in my head that are clearly defined enough for me that they may not be clear enough to readers because I figure *I* know who they are so everybody else should too?

No--it worked! Any more detail I would have felt less proud of myself for figuring it out. I don't know why I also associate the four horsemen with trains. I have a story (or serial?) idea floating around that has four trains arriving instead of four individuals on those trains. Still in ideation phase, but it's in my note-taking draft on Gibberish!

I confess I myself would like to write something lengthier with these characters. I don't have an idea as to what, it might not even have reached ideation phase, but they're there, waiting for their cue, as it were...

Collab, perchance?! We might be able to smoosh our ideas together and come up with something good...
