| 520 | _a"A Kiss for the Conqueror" by Clyde Mitchell is a science fiction short story published in the mid-20th century. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where social dynamics have drastically changed after a war, the story explores themes of power, desire, and the complex relationships between conquerors and the conquered. The narrative focuses on a soldier's morally questionable pursuit, highlighting the psychological and societal implications of his actions. The story follows Lieutenant Bolgar, who, driven by an obsession, decides to forcibly kiss a woman from the conquered population. As he waits and prepares for the encounter, he reflects on the contempt and disdain he perceives from her and his fellow soldiers toward the conquered. However, when his plan unfolds, it quickly spirals out of control, leading to a violent confrontation and his subsequent capture. Bolgar's actions are met with a swift judicial response, revealing the underlying tensions in this divided society and the consequences of his aggressive desire. The story culminates in a chilling reminder of the repercussions of male entitlement, as Bolgar is sentenced to a breeding camp, illustrating the dark consequences of his misguided quest for a connection that culminates in violence.
