Tales of the unfortunate is a collection of dark and supernatural short stories. All children wish to be superheroes when they grow up as the avid imagination of unsullied minds makes everyone believe they have an ability that makes them unique, that makes them special. For these specific individuals, such thoughts are no mere daydream. Tales of the Unfortunate provides a more realistic, raw but tragic look at what it means to be gifted, to be handpicked and bestowed upon abilities no one else could ever imagine. One would think such individuals would become upstanding citizens, upholding justice, morals and integrity but human nature is not so kind, it is fickle and easily manipulated. This body of work is here to prove it.
