What Gives Us Our Names

Alvin Pang

He’d gotten the idea from a book, not unlike the one you last read and loved, whose lurid covers you have already forgotten. For a canvas, he used not his own skin but his very life, spending his days as if he were made up of the most telling bits of other people. To do this, he learned to watch quietly and look deeply, past the busy surfaces until he could discern the colours beneath, the ones that did not change. One by one he would name them as he wove them into his heart in the deep of night. He touched you once, borrowing pieces of your story in passing. They are here still, in case you wish to look.

From Outer Space - The Zoo...

Robert Zacks

They gather each day beneath a transparent dome, hungry for stories of a world they have never seen. The old space veteran speaks of oceans, cities, sunlight, and choices once taken for granted—but what they truly want to hear is how it all ended. Not the glory. Not the pride. The mistake.
From Outer Space unfolds as a quiet confession. The first contact came through scientific triumph, when new wavelengths reached beyond Earth’s atmosphere and drew an answer from the stars. Brilliant minds strained to understand the voices that filled their thoughts. Conversations began. Questions were asked. But Earth made one small error in front of an audience that did not forgive easily. What follows is swift, clinical, and devastating. No invasion fleet. No fiery bombardment. Just a decision made elsewhere, based on what the visitors believed they had seen.
Robert Zacks builds this story with restraint. The horror comes not from spectacle, but from recognition. Humanity is not crushed by superior weapons. It is cataloged, judged, and reassigned. The most unsettling moments are not battles, but memories—of what once was normal, and what has become routine.
The final image lingers long after the last line. You may find yourself replaying it, wondering what could have been done differently—and whether anyone would have noticed in time.
Robert Zacks published science fiction during the mid-twentieth century in American genre magazines that specialized in sharp, ironic short fiction. His work often centered on unexpected reversals in first-contact scenarios and the social consequences of technological progress. From Outer Space stands as one of his most striking cautionary tales, a story that captures the uneasy humor and quiet dread that defined magazine-era speculative fiction.
