I told Mark Lewman about this short story idea I had called “The Horse Namer.” It’s about some kid that comes on the horse naming scene and he’s just way ahead of his time. He names horses things like, “BBBBBBBBBB,” “:{]]—=WE4444,” “*&^*^()_++++,” and “THHHHPPPPPT.”
Race announcers hate him, but fans and trainers adore him.
I never wrote the story. But Lewman liked the idea and it reminded him of “this handsome machine that beckoned for my coin in a fuel depot shitter on my route home tonight.” I think “Midnight Stalker” wins.
