        I think that's the metaphor that Reith was using. The old Four
Horsemen metaphor is one of the most common in English and US
literature.
        And that part about the wind beginning to howl was a nice touch,
I thought. Then again I've been in the desert when a really nasty
60-80 mph wind has taken off and it's about as uncomfortable as you can
imagine. It's why I keep a pair of GI tank goggles in my pack for when
I'm out playing in the sand.
