Phantom Pains

A Most Irregular Tale #1

by M.A. Dash

Living in a mid-twenty-first century America that has been reshaped after nearly a decade of bloodshed with citizens possessing abnormal abilities labeled as Irregulars. Dr. Devin Prince is a therapist hiding not just his own classified mental condition, but also a secret that would put him in the crosshairs of many nefarious parties. An Irregular himself, Devin, as the Peach City Phantom begrudgingly combats the Underground, the name he has temporarily decided to label the organization he believes to be behind the Irregular-related kidnappings. On a subsequent rescue mission, Devin stumbles across an eccentric masked figure named Angelus, who asserts that he is her “muse” and claims to have information on the Underground. With the first tangible piece of intel and an ally willing to fight with him since the beginning of his crusade, Devin is more than happy to accept her offer of a partnership, but what he doesn’t know is that Angelus may hold the key to unlocking the secret behind his fractured past. That is, if the Underground or his sanity doesn’t do him in first.

Interesting tale that is so easy to get lost into. You would have to go back and reread some parts. A tale of a therapist wanting to save his city from vengeance while dealing with internal struggles of his own. Woah plot twist through and through.
