    I used to have one right in the middle of my bald spot. I couldn’t see it even with a clever arrangement of mirrors, but I could feel it. I think it must have been fair because it didn’t stand out even amongst the apparent lack of hair*, but the root would sometimes feel like it was digging through my scalp.

    Some days I’d spend longer than I’d like to mention trying to grab it blind with tweezers. On and off for years. Often got other fine hairs, but not that one.

    One day I finally got it. It didn’t look remarkable at all, at least not that I remember, but the feeling when it came out was something special.

    Never been bothered by it since, so either I killed the root or set it right.

    * If you get real close, it’s actually kind of fuzzy, but for most intents and purposes there’s nothing there.
