Just Punishment

Telex 5 does not put up with crime. The planetary authority punishes wrongdoers harshly. When Anton thought he could get away with rape he was in for a surprise. Back on Earth he might do a little time at worst. On Telex 5 they know how to deal with rapists.

Anton was smug in court as he accepted the plea agreement. The judge promised no prison or jail. Instead, he sentenced Anton to a life as Rebecca, a woman. A real woman, as Anton soon learned. He fought with all his might as several women forced him into the transformation chamber and slammed the door. Poor Anton screamed and pounded on the door as the women smiled and waved and flipped the switch.

With a lightning bolt, Anton’s body was blasted instantly into Rebecca. He never had a chance to say goodbye to his old body. Rebecca returned home to Earth. She started living a clean life, determined to change her old ways.

Three years later, as fate would have it, Rebecca was raped at the beach by five men. The men were acquitted. It seems the jury thought Rebecca was asking for it. Now Anton knew what his victim felt like. Rebecca knew she deserved what she got.
