So we recently decided to host quarterly challenges rather than monthly; this both gives you more time to create your submissions and allows me to provide even better prizes to the winners! So here we are; for our first quarterly challenge!

Prompt: "I go to seek the Great Perhaps"
These were said to be François Rabelais final words. What is "The Great Perhaps"? That's what I want you to tell us through your writing. What do you think the "Great Perhaps" is? Not what he meant; but what does it mean to you? What is your Great Perhaps?

Donor Feature:

Art for Arts' SakeArt was being selfish.
He knew this to be true.
For Muse would stop
And stare at him,
Her eyes an icy blue.
"What now?" she would inquire
With a dark tone to her voice.
And Art would tell her
All his wants.
He had no other choice.
The drive to get it out of him
Would come on oh-so strong.
And if he chose
To let it pass?
Well, that would feel just wrong.
His need to paint; to write; to draw;
Was stronger than his will.
So he gave in to it
Every time
Until his hand was still.
And Muse could only watch him
For she knew she was to blame.
As he toiled all his time away
Making art for his own name. The Lady in the Blue DressEllie hadn't seen her come in. Hadn't heard the tell-tale jingle of the entry bell over the diner door either.
"She must have come in behind the two rednecks." she surmised and, grabbing her order pad from behind the counter, made her way over to the woman's table.
Ellie flashed her a quick smile along with her standard greeting. "Evening Ma'am. What can I get you?"
The woman looked up and Ellie was instantly mesmerized by the most dazzling blue eyes she'd ever seen. The rest of the woman's features suddenly came in to sharper focus, as though Ellie were seeing her for the first time. The woman's hair was jet-black and styled in a wispy-pixie cut that framed her high cheekbones and tapered chin. Her almond-shaped eyes peered out from beneath perfectly layered bangs; her thin nose ending in a cherub-snub above full, ruby-red lips.
The woman returned Ellie's smile, flashing the pearliest of white teeth. "Do you mind if I take a few more minutes? I'm waiting for somebody
