Well, no one says you have to change it right away. Let it run around in the back of your mind and it'll work itself out.
Technically, I'm already published since I won a poetry contest in Cobblestone magazine when I was 9. I haven't tried publishing as an adult, though, and I really should.
As for markets...hmm. Gothic.net used to have a fiction section; don't know if they're still up & running. The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror takes their selections from a variety of genre magazines, but the same magazines keep cropping up year after year. So I'd say look at genre anthologies, see where the stories were originally published, and submit to those publications. There are also the writers' market books published every year.
