Last night before wandering off to sleep, I got the idea of a zombie story, with a bit of a twist.
Suppose the character is conscious and him/herself when turning into a zombie. In fact, it's not zombie-like at all, except that the character discovers, horrified, that they're dead. Immortal, in fact, except without the nifty regenerative properties, so that what should be fatal wounds leave instead a dark gash that won't close. There's no blood, because there's no heartbeat, and the expression "coughing up a lung" is all too real.
