A Throne of Smoke

 

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….

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:..

Cigar The Man

 

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..... 

 

Armor

 

His costume was like Armor. It protected him. The helmet had a face shield. It covered little Benny's eyes. It was also used as a computer screen to see all around him. Ms. Daniels put a tiny disc in the helmet so little Benny could see the powers of Cigar Keys and what he would have to fight against....

Super Strength

 

Ms. Daniels was questioned by police after shooting at the strange man at the Pizza Restaurant. Little Benny stayed with her. The commotion was on video from the restaurant. The footage showed that the man pulled out his weapon first, and that Ms. Daniels pulled out her gun in self defense. She was a concealed- gun carrier. No one was injured in the incident. The restaurant owner told the police that the man was a robber that robbed his restaurant for money several times. Ms. Daniels was free to go. The police recognized the robber and went to find him. .. 

 

Ms. Daniels

 

Miss Daniels pulled out a little pistol and pushed Little Benny to the floor. As she shot at a strange man, the man shot at her. People began to panic, and they fell to the floor. The man ran out of the restaurant. Little Benny was shook. ....

Little Benny’s Pipe Cigar Suit

Ms. Daniels made Little Benny a special pipe cigar and black suit for protection. The cigar she made was not the kind of cigar for smoking made from tabacco. It was used more like an instrument. It was like a whistle. When Little Benny blew into it, it made a beep sound. The beep was a signal for his suit to create fog so he could hide from his enemies. The sound would talk to the symbol on his suit which was a computerized plate. It was like a no smoking symbol of a kangaroo. …..
