Beholder of the Oyster

by Muhammad Shahzaib

A tender study of intimacy and attention, exploring the small, unspoken observations that pass between people and the tenderness of being closely looked at.

About the author

Muhammad Shahzaib

I’m Shahzaib, a young 21-year old writer. I tend to write about anything or any idea that caresses my mind,
Like the turning faucet in my kitchen possessing the ability to fall with perfect comedic timing,
Or the lane of ant troops that make routes from the dining room,
dragging and carrying giants named Crumbs in the form of loot.
I’m merely trying to put myself in those shoes while at the same time admiring their spirit from a bird’s eye view.
Not forgetting the plant I grew and the milky flowers it bloomed until they fell out and bore fruit.
With each passing day I saw them embrace the rays as if their own; no wonder it started to rub off on them.

I now had bite-size suns I could eat–
They were sour and sweet.

7 pages was just too less, hope you enjoy the rest.
