A welcome challenge

I used to find Alice in Wonderland scary as a child not sure why but enjoyed this challenge as it made me re-visit some of the characters and realise it's more weird than scary and very clever. Thanks to our host for the literary challenge. I like that every deck of cards I could find has a slightly different take on the queen. Eagle eyed will spot the one from my Simpsons deck :)
I love this quote from The Queen of Hearts it feels apt to life at the minute. 
"My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place"
