I thought it was one of those oil globules firmly affixed to a strand of hair. (Never mind the fact there was nothing globular in shape or consistency hanging around the follicle.) I kept pulling the hair between my fingers, trying to get the color back to black.
It was two days before I realized it was not a sebaceous secretion.
I immediately panicked, struck by a vision of irregular patches of gray, a leopard with lopsided spots.
I looked in the mirror. Leaned close. Leaned in a little more. Squinted. There it was. My first albino strand of hair, nestled comfortably above my temple.
