Can you recommend some hero fiction short stories?
Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great short story with a kind of 'heroic' love. The couple in the story sacrifice their most precious possessions for each other, showing great selflessness which can be seen as a form of heroism.
Another one is 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Richard Connell. The protagonist Sanger Rainsford is a hero figure as he has to use his wits and survival skills to outwit a deranged hunter on an island. It's a thrilling short story full of action and heroics.
'A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury can also be considered. Eckels, the main character, though he makes a huge mistake in the end, starts out as an adventurous 'hero' of sorts. He travels back in time to hunt dinosaurs, and the story explores the consequences of his actions in a very thought - provoking way.
