Maybe he hadn't thought the war through. It had seemed like simple fun when he had first pictured it, with a glorious beginning, a difficult but valor-filled middle, and a victorious end. He hadn't accounted for the fact that there might not be much of a resolution to the battle, and he hadn't imagined what it would feel like when the war just sort of ended, without anyone admitting defeat and congratulating him for his bravery.
Dave EggersI think there's great value to the Associated Press and to Reuters, but if you wanted to generate original content, maybe written by local writers, it just takes a little bit of openness to open your pages up to a wider freelance writer pool, and then you might find new voices and a wider array of voices, and definitely more original content that can't be found anywhere else.

Dave EggersThe voice of the nickly reflection of the moon was not as deep as you might expect. It was a singerโs voice, though, a tenor, one that loved itself without reservation. โI feel time like you dream. Your dreams are jumbled. You canโt remember the order of your dreams, and when you recall them, the memories bend. Faces change. Itโs all in puddles and ripples. Thatโs what time is for me.
