Wanted

For #TuesdayTales, and their challenge word euphoria.

Wanted 

The wanted poster got enough attention just by the featured portrait; long gold hair, blue eyes, pursed lips, and eyebrows raised. When onlookers stopped gaping at her picture they saw the bold letters: NOTORIOUS OUTLAW WANTED followed by REWARD 2,000 DOLLARS. That was nearly two months wages on this backwater planet- a fortune good enough to stay out of the genetics field and euphoria mines for a time.  She had gone to great pains to make the poster look nothing like herself. Her dirty blonde hair whisked behind her as she ran down the beach, laughing, towards the escape ship.
