The Cowardly Hero

Compose a story depicting a protagonist who is branded a hero, but in fact is terrified of everything.

The writing prompt presents a character who, despite their deepest fears and anxieties, has been conferred the title of a hero. This paradox is a contemplation on the expectations of heroism and bravery. Is courage always loud and boastful, or can it come wrapped in the guise of fright and apprehensive actions?
