!!Tropes shown in this work:



* CameBackWrong: The Woken come back super-strong, nigh-invulnerable to everything including bullets, and completely homicidal. The only upside is that as long as you don’t actually get in their way and aren’t the focus of their rage, you’re safe.

* DeathOfAChild: What kickstarted the plot. [[spoiler: Johnathon’s daughter Madison was the victim of a serial killer that targeted children. He used his powers to bring her back but all she wanted was to find the man who killed her. He starts bringing back more dead en mass in the hopes that one of the killer's other victims will find him before Madison. It's his hope that keeping her from killing him until then will leave her permanently undead and with him.]]
* TheDreaded: The Woken are feared by everyone in general because, well, they’re homicide zombies. Gets turned on its head a little when people realize they’re only after murderers and the result is steep drop in the murder rate.

* PowerIncontinence: Johnathon describes his ability as the same as controlling one’s breathe. You do so either consciously or subconsciously but its always happening, and so he needs to concentrate in order to not kickstart a ZombieApocalypse…and then his daughter is murder and all hell breaks loose.
* RevengebyProxy: Johnathon’s plan is contingent on this.
