Welcome To Wonderland (Part 2)

 Hades rushed by and saw a new guest in the land. He paused and smiled.

"Welcome to Wonderland, we've got it all-"

This rotund, shaking with impatience lady jammed her finger at him. "Where the hell am I? And why is it so damn hot in here? Turn it down some, I'm about to melt!"

Hades took a deep breath. He snapped his fingers and made it ice cold. "As you wish, ma'am. You're going to meet your afterlife destiny here-"

"You incompetent dumbass, I'm going to get you fired! Where's your manager? I DEMAND to speak to your manager!" the Karen yelled.

 Hades smiled. "You see, I am the manager. I did do as you asked, now did I not?"

 "You can't do anything right, who do you think you are?"

 Hades smiled softly. "There's a special place for you, it's especially designed for you-"

 "You cannot be the manager, I demand to speak to your boss about how awful the service here has been!"

 "Let's look at your file, shall we?" Hades materialized a folder and flipped through it. "Ah yes, Karen Bullswitch, let's see..." Hades mused a few minutes more. "You have a history of yelling at cashiers and demanding refunds? Tsk tsk tsk."

 Karen looked livid. "How dare you see my private life! I want that file!"

 "I promise no one else will see it, ma'am. Oh, it says here you also dragged your kids into your schemes. It looks as though one of your kids has broken out, good for them, they'll have a happy time here-"

 Karen was now fuming and smoke bellowed from her ears. "Are you implying that I won't? I want no less than I deserve!"

 "Oh don't worry ma'am," Hades said with a rich smile, basking in her anger even more as though it fed him. "You will get EXACTLY as you deserve."

 "What does that mean?"

 Hades led Karen down a path of coals to a store. He handed her an apron. "Here you go, you're a cashier." The temperature was just too hot for comfort.

 "What?" sputtered Karen. "I can't work the peasant job!"

 "What, are you afraid you'll be less of a human and be reduced down to the garbage you think most cashiers are?" Hades buttered each word on with extreme joy, watching her cogs in her brain try to spin with comprehension.

 The minute she donned the apron, a customer appeared. With a huff Karen went to take care of them.

 "What took you so long?" the customer immediately demanded.

 "I-" Karen began.

 "Hurry up!" That was quickly followed by, "You're going too fast!"

 Hades watched in satisfaction as Karen dealt with a long line of such customers, then shut the door and went back to the happier side of Wonderland.

 Oh, there you are! What does it cost to be kind? It costs only a few seconds and some humility. Maybe it can be humbling to be kind. But so long as you do it with a pure heart, it is worthy and valid. The cost of kindness is little, but the gift of kindness can be everything, even as much as a life. You never know the impact a smile or virtual hug can have on someone. Or saying, "I love you," or, "I'm here for you." So spread some love and kindness, cause the world needs it. And if you haven't heard it in a while, I love you. I support you. I'm so proud of you. You're doing amazing things and you've come too far to back down; never stop fighting on. You can you this, you've got this. I believe in you. I love you! 💓💗

Hey, you there-

 Hey you. Yes, I mean you. Stop and take a minute to read. Worst case scenario it'll take an entire 3 minutes and you can get back on with your life, okay? I need to tell you something. It's super important. You need to hear it, it'll be a good word, I promise. You are the most beautiful human I've ever seen. Even when you cry, cause I know life is hard and it throws nasty curveballs at you a lot. Even when you want to give up, you're stunning, because of how long and far you've come and fought already. Wow, I'm so proud of you. You've done so much already and you're not even done yet. <3 You're magical, you're so amazing. I wish I were half as wonderful as you, you are so perfect the bar is impossible to reach. You're perfect how you need to be. You're battling and winning, even if you're losing for now. You'll win this. :) You have this, I believe in you. Can you believe in yourself? I can't believe how much you'v

Oh, hi there! There you are!

 There you are! I've been looking for you all over! It's been hard to track you down, but whew- Wow, was it worth it! Just look at you! You're gorgeous! That made my hunting very worth all the struggle, cause don't you look stunning today!  I had a special message for you, I wanted you to hear it, it's why I've been desperate to find you- And here you are, so yay! Listen, sometimes you have to let go of stresses that you don't know you have, but they result in freedom. If a site or a place repeatedly doesn't feel right, let it go. Don't tie yourself down to a toxic atmosphere, toxic people, or toxic work in the guise that "It'll get better," because it won't. You just get used to the toxicity. You get used to the pain, manipulation, you bend to their will and let them use you and no longer fight for your beliefs of what is right. You may not recognize it as toxic at first, but when you leave it'll feel like you suddenly stopped
