Ezme sent another cruiser through her customs stop, trying not to bang her head against the wall in frustration. She was envious; they were on vacation and could go wherever they pleased. She was stuck here. A lowly customs' officer, making enough to live comfortably, but there was always something missing. She was never quite happy. It was always right there, just out of reach, and she simply couldn't grasp it. It might be easier if she knew just what 'it' was.
She typed up the report on the last vehicle. Four passengers. Nothing illegal, unless they were able to sneak it through the scanner, in which case, good on them. She really didn't care... She tucked a strand of dark auburn hair behind her ear. Even her hair colour these days was mundane. All the other girls had gone teal or fuchsia. But no, she didn't want to go to the effort just to fake a natural colour. There was one girl she remembered that had quit with natural emerald-coloured hair. That lucky, lucky woman.
Ezme buzzed to let the next vehicle through, smoothing down her customs vest. Maybe this one would actually occupy her. A drug bust? Illegal smuggling of a wild animal? The interplanetary exotic pet trade was getting more and more extreme these days. She would love to crack down on one of those bastards.
