Imagine a smooth lake of skin. Now think of how the sun appears like a friendly stranger and little brown fish swim to the top of the lake to see him. This is how the melanin suddenly breaks away from the other cells it has been huddling with all winter, and my new, rather returning freckles suddenly appear. The freckle is not a migratory beast. It has been in the same place for months and months, waiting for today.
