X, the protagonist of this tale, a truculent criminal met his creator after his death by execution.

The creator said, “You have disgraced creation in every possible way. Be ready for your judgement.” X said, “May whatever your judgment be, give me rebirth as a woman.”  

Astonished creator asked, “You have molested and ravished so many women and you are asking for a human life again.”  

X replied, “Yes, I want a rebirth as a woman with the memories of this life.”

The creator asked, “I am simultaneously being infuriated and surprised by your impudence and demand. Tell me why are you asking for this?”

X explained, “I never repented for my ghastly doings until my last crime, when I ravaged a pregnant woman. Even ravaging a child as young as thirteen years didn’t give me slightest of agony. My hands didn’t shake at all when I killed that innocent after enjoying her screams. I have always found and took immense pleasure in all those acts. But that last woman changed everything. Fear and grief she had in her eyes didn’t melt me but when she withdrew all her resistance, I was defeated. A feeling I never had before. When the act was over, I realised that you have never created anything greater or more beautiful than femininity. No one, no one has any right to ravage that in any way. But tell me, as you are the omniscient one, aren’t almost all the men doing that every now and then? In their imaginations, in their dreams. They are equally vile. I say, they are more ghastly than I was for they wear a mask of hypocrisy which I never did. But these are not the reasons behind my plea. That day I realised that ravaging a woman is victory of femininity and most disgraceful defeat of masculinity. I want femininity because I want to feel every stage from being born as a child and emerging as a woman. I want to experience the changes a female mind goes through with respect to changes in her appearance from phase to phase under the law of nature. I want to feel the love when a man enters her and the pain when the same man ravages her. I want to feel the pain and joy of carrying and giving birth to a life. I want to feel the sorrow of domination and pride of dominating. And I want memories of this life for I will have to live the life in unbearable impingement and agony. No punishment of yours can be greater than this. But at the end I know femininity will overcome all ignominy, all baseness, all abomination and shine as it always does. And that shall be my atonement. I pray, I beg to you – grant me my wish.”

The creator smilingly said, “Granted.”
