    Little Benny appeared burden by the weight of the world and the strife of the economy. He thought about how rich he used to be. He sat upon a throne of smoke. A great demon of smoke entwined around his mind, and in his hand was a cigar ,lit with the fire of his anxious spirit. He was worried about Ms. Daniels. It had been reported on the news that someone tried to break in her home, and he also thought about the drops of water coming down from his ceiling into a bucket.

    And the smoke arose in clouds, curling upwards as prayers of the weary, enveloping the man in a haze of his own making. The air was thick with the scent of despair, and the din of voices clamored from below, saying, “Who shall deliver us from this dark hour? Who shall lift the burden of our labor and restore our fortunes?”

    And little Benny in his desolate state looked upon the smoke that surrounded him and saw the faces of those lost to the shadows of want. And a demon emerged from the swirling fog, its eyes like fiery with the lust of greed, whispering sweetly in Benny’s ear, turning into the looks of little Benny.

    Demon: Have no fear, for I am the keeper of your desire. I shall show you the path to riches, if you but surrender that soul!

    Yet Little Benny, the weekend, remember the words of wisdom spoken by the ancients, and he cast his gaze upward, where the light of truth shown bright. And he spoke: O darkness, thou hast no hold upon me! I will not trade my peace for the fleeting pleasures of this world.
    And as he declared this, the cigar fell from his fingers, extinguishing the flame of temptation, and the smoke dissipated like a defeated foe in the dawn of understanding. The demon shrieked and retreated into the shadows.

    Little Benny was the man transformed, no longer a prisoner of his fears, but a champion of hope, for he had learned that the riches of the spirit far outweighed the gold of the earth. And he rose from his throne of smoke, ready to face the trials ahead, unshackled and renewed. Amen, Little Benny!

    INTERLUDE 1
    SPIRITUAL WARFARE

    Litttle Benny is a story about spiritual warefare. He fights against an evil force. The Cigar Man intervines in his overcoming smoking.

    In Ephesians of chapter 6:11, It reads: Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

    Physically & spiritually, that’s what Little Benny had to do. He put on armor to fight his enemy.
    In verse 12 of Ephesians, it reads: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

    That’s what Little Benny fights against when he fights against the Cigar Man. The Cigar Man is not a man of flesh and blood. He is power and smoke that wants to destroy Little Benny and the whole world.

    1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:..

    While Lttle Benny was practicing on using his powers with his helmet and armor on, Cigar Keys was practicing on his mind. He was froze to the bone in Ms. Daniels lab. Cigar Keys couldn't break the ice but there was one place on his body that stayed warm and that was his head. Like Little Benny,he kept a helmet on and that helmet was like a burning torch when it was lit. With his mind, he lit his helmet that did not burn. It was like a cigarette lighter. Keys let the flame heat up the ice block he was in just enough to see if the ice would melt. He wanted to fool Ms. Daniels. Keys knew that she would be back-and-forth checking on him during the day. So he waited until night time to break out of the lab all together. Until then, he stayed in the ice block in the ice chamber room.

    When night time came, Cigars melted the top of the ice block machine. Then he finished breaking free from it. When he was turned into ashes from the beginning, he used his mind power to put back all the pieces of himself. He grew tired. He then made himself smoke to go past the sleeping security guards and slipped under the lab exit doors.

    Cigar Keys went to gather all the men that worked for him, and he called them to a meeting discussing what he had planned. He sent two to spy on Ms. Daniels.

    Cigar: I want you to find Ms. Daniels. Find out where she is. Find out where she lives and report back to me.
