Synopsis:
Urania "Rainie" Blackwell used to be called "Element Girl". She is currently living in a small apartment, living off a government pension. Her appearance is not what it once was, and she does not like to be around people. She has almost no contact with the outside world. Sadly, she would like to commit suicide. After a particularly embarrassing lunch date, Rainie meets Death herself.

Notes:
Element Girl was so forgotten by the world that she did not appear in the 1980's version of DC's "Who's Who", inspiring Neil Gaiman to write this tragic tale.
