I was searching the Internet for the most common last names. I wanted to write a story about Machine Agents, see, and everyone knows they always have real generic names--to make them seem more cookie-cutter, I suppose, and to correspond with their lack of personality, maybe. Someone up there has a sense of humor.
That's how I found the list. It had good names. The classic names--you know the ones. I only needed the first five, but my eye wandered down the list. I was wondering what number "Cruz" would come in at, I think.
That's when I saw it. The name. His name.
And I got to thinking just who has the sense of humor.
