Sammy Sun

A Sammy Sun is an orb of light created by Sam or Bette. Unlike his offensive blasts of light, these float in the air and generate no heat. Sam often uses them as a light source.

The first manifestation of a Sammy Sun was two days before the FAYZ, during a power outage caused by a lightning storm. As Sam's powers continue to develop, he is able to create Sammy Suns at will. In Gone, Bette uses a Sammy Sun, for which Orc beats her to death. In Lies, Sam gives suns to other kids of the FAYZ as a source of light due to the nuclear power plant shut down in Hunger. Zil prohibited his Human Crew from using them and many other normals complied. During this period, freaks did not use Sammy Suns either, as it marked them as freaks, for fear of bringing the Human Crew to their doorsteps. Their use is continued throughout the series, and they become vital in Fear when the dome goes dark. Sam creates a trail of them that spans from Lake Tramonto to Perdido Beach.

The name Sammy Sun was coined by Howard.
