The Age of Unreason
My hairdresser found my first grey hair on the back of my head when I was about 16. I didn't think much about it until now, the day I've found the first grey hair in my beard. I've got a rich mix of colors in my facial hair: brown fibers, black fibers, some that are kind of auburn and reflect a bunch of light. I even have some thin wispy hairs that are closer to a sandy blonde color more than anything else, and at first I thought it might just be one of these.
No. No, this fucker was white. White like "Emma Frost spilled Liquid Paper on her shirt" white. I plucked it, as much because it looked out of place as because it was terrifying, and I have since identified another potential follicle that might have let out the smoke.
It won't be long now before I start looking like either my grandfather or Walt Whitman.

I've actually had white patches in my beard for the last three years or so. The funny thing is, they migrate. Every couple of months they wind up in a different place. The really weird thing is, though, that the patches are big enough and white enough that it looks like I have patches missing from my beard.
