January 21, 2012 Where's my Critique? If you've been waiting for contest critiques, we're still working on them! The response has
been longer due to busy editing schedules, but we haven't forgotten you. Our goal is to have all past
critiques returned by the end of April. Thanks for your patience! Amy

"The
crack of an explosion, like a direct hit on a munitions dump, yanked Sergeant Nyte out of a pleasant dream. Tucked in behind
a tree on a small rise just a few meters at the rear of his men, he rolled to his stomach and raised his rifle. Peering through
the Starlight night vision scope mounted on the barrel, he pointed it in the direction of the thundering sound still retreating
into the distance. The bright green heat signatures showed a half dozen bodies, warm from the life just stolen from them,
not thirty meters away. Charlie had hit a tripwire and set off a single M18 Claymore mine planted on the perimeter of their
position."

So why get a critique?
Every day we pay for small, trivial things, like a soda out of the vending machine at work or
a candy bar in line at the grocery store. A magazine or a manicure. A cup of coffee through the drive-thru.
But how much do we invest in enriching our lives?
Developing a talent that's been dormant for a long time? Realizing a dream, like seeing our name in print?
Why
get a critique? I say, why not?
