The First Collection 

Misfortune was the first project by the Aparctius Group, published in March 2020. With a mixture of writing styles and forms, Misfortune represents the feelings you don't want to remember, but can't forget. 

Feelings of fear, confusion, and anger in narrative prose, with lyrics and poems about mental health and heartbreak, mix together with the extensive worlds created in the short stories. Misfortune merges together our different styles to present the combined narrative of mental health and confusion of growing up.

Misfortune: The Audio Collection

We put together a little playlist that inspired us when writing (and rewriting) Misfortune. We hope you enjoy :)
