Challenge #01341-C246: Riders of the Apocollapse

The four Horsepersons of the Apocollapse(Not a typo), ride fourth and get in each other's way. -- Knitnan

[AN: It's officially 'apocollapse' now. It's a word that's long needed to happen]

Absentmindedness came up for air. "Huh?"

Mislaying looked down. "Oh fuck this..."

It's probably a good thing that they only ride metaphorically.
