The Accidental Hero by Joshua Graham is one of the better short stories I've read over the past couple of weeks.  Big Pete, an inmate at Salton Sea State Penitentiary, is big and bad. His cell-mate, Brian, better known as B, isn't afraid of him, though.  Big Pete is a hit man and is responsible for a lot of deaths and is known as the "big white killing machine."  Big Pete has been hired to kill a member of the community, but instead of finding satisfaction as well as a lot of money in doing that, he finds something much greater.Joshua Graham has done a very good job with this story and the characters in it.  It is hopeful, inspirational and has some good moral lessons in it.  I really found enjoyment in this one and I'd like to read more of Graham's work. This is one of the better free stories for the Kindle I've read.
