The FAYZ: the FAYZ—Fallout Alley Youth Zone— is what the people in Perdido Beach and Coates Academy call the area they live in. The FAYZ began on November tenth, a Monday, in 2008. The FAYZ is surrounded by a impenetrable barrier painful to the touch. The barrier is a dome that is 20 miles in diameter, and the nuclear plant is in the exact centre.
