This story is told in first person by Darrel, a twenty-seven-year-old guy still living at home, who buys a samurai sword off eBay. Combine that guy with a soggy gi, a red bandanna, and an over-active and grandiose imagination, and you get a really funny short story. I was smiling while reading it, laughing out loud and wondering just what Darrel would do next. I've never read this author before, and I was impressed with his smooth style and his natural and easy voice. Nothing forced about it at all. Hero for Hire is a very well done short, just smart and funny with a sly and cheeky humor to it. Bought it on a whim tonight and I ended up with a great little story.
