Ten of Swords

Jay wakes up dead - obviously murdered - and discovers that everything the agency told him about becoming a zombie was a lie. He wants to forget his former life and get on with his new reality, but he can't seem to stop his old memories flooding back or his new instincts kicking in or the other zombies from following him. This revenge is happening.
