  3. I hate bathroom stalls. Stalls imply mass urination and that’s never a good sign. I hate when the automatic toilet flushes before its time. That has to be one of the most disgusting situations in public life. Who knows how many people have touched that stall door before you.

  4. Hesitation. (My word is stall, which is apt, because I feel my brain constantly revise what I plan to write.) I know this isn’t much, but at least it’s something.

  5. Stalling is fear. Fear of what one can accomplish if they actually set their mind to the task. Fear of both failure and success. For most the fear of that unknown is more terrifying than the wondering of what could have been accomplished with more time.

  6. there is a bathroom stall and a horse stall. Then there is when people stall other people from trying to see something like that one episode of full house where DJ and Stephanie break their dads closet thing and Michelle stalls the dad.

  7. The bus was stalled. What were they going to do? Leave her there for the next three hours til the next one got there? She growled. What the heck? The bus was broken. She walked up to the bus driver. “What the heck is going on here?”
    “The engine caught fire..” he replied.
    “The fucking engine

  9. Stalling never helped the situation. She never changed her mind. Once the decision was made, there was no going back. Head down, he went inside and laid down to take his medicine. Mom was going to whip him no matter what. He just hoped she didn’t go nuts on him like usual. She seemed nice so far today, but who knew?

  12. To stall is to stay in the same place for an extended period of time. It can mean to keep a conversation on a certain topic so that something else can develop, or also if a car stops.

  13. “Why don’t we talk about what we’re doing tomorrow?”

    It was obvious he was just trying to stall.

    “Tomorrow can come tomorrow. Today, let’s focus on the here and now.”

    I opened the door and saw what he had been hiding.

  21. I at full stall in my life. It is on hold, plain and simple. I need to move forward and I stuck in a holding pattern…a prison of my own making. I need a kick in the pants.

  23. I can’t concentrate. She has the TV on some shitty reality show, and she’s eating chips with the volume up to eleven. I can’t even focus on writing this as the ads for family resorts and sports cars blare in the common room.

  24. Horses.

  25. Stall could hAVe several meanings. It is a room to keep livestock, or a momentary loss of movement or enegy. My car might stall, I might stall something, or my horse might live in a stall. Awesome. Why I doing this? I don’t understand.

  26. “what?”
    “i said it perfectly clearly. i said, why are you acting so strangely?” he turned away after this and continued chewing off the end of his fingernail.
    “why are you upset?” she mumbled into his shoulder. he just kept chewing his fingernail.

  27. She was hiding in the stall, waiting, waiting and waiting for the grumbling of the girls outside of her hiding place to stop. But they were still there and she could not let herself be seen – if she was, she knew something horrible would happen. Just then, she felt herself loose her footing on the toilet seat…

  28. This is one of those days. I’m in a constant state of explaining things to myself, concerned only with the flimsy and the fickle. My peers are utterly possessed with the inexorable march of progress, and all I can do is gaze stupidly at the sky.

  29. There was a break in the conversation. A sudden pause as his question hung in the air. A million thoughts ran through her head and with every passing moment, a flurry of emotions hung thick about them – something you could almost touch. Her voice seemed to be lost, the only thing she could think to do was stall.

  30. I don’t want to go. There are people in there, and I haven’t been around them for ages. Maybe, yes, that could work.
    “Mum? I’m coming, just gotta find my keys!” Which are in my pocket, but well, she doesn’t need to know that.
    “I can’t find them, Mom!”

    Maybe that’ll help me for a few minutes. Yeah, should work.

  32. opening the toilet stall is one of the worst, suspenseful experiences. you never know what the hell you’re giong to find. i especially happy when i discover that whatever lays behind the stall is clean and pristine. sadly too much of the time, this is wishful thinkin …

  33. the time stalls
    wait still no call
    fall upon the bed
    trying to rest
    but your all I hear
    your voice hard to remember
    your laugh I can’t shake
    Ive made it my own
    one of the things youve left in your wake

  34. when i don’t want to do something, or the car I pray it doesn’t stall, horses live in a stall this word is pretty universal…

  35. I wait for myself. I shouldn’t, I should forbid the past and just, go. Uncertainties ensue everywhere I go, everything I do. And they shouldn’t.

  36. …..

    One. Tick. Two. Tock. Three. Tick, tick, tick.

    Hmm…. Time ticks by slowly. One moment then two. Another and another.

    Stalling. Waiting. Ticking. Tocking.

    I wait for you. I stall for you.

  37. A car stalls and stutters, as do our minds at times. Either too many thoughts or not enough and the brain engine shudders, unable to process information normally. . . Geez, this is a hard word today, couldn’t we have had “puppies” or “kittens”? Not fair, could have written loads about them.

  38. the beautiful percheron boldly tossed his head as the groom passed by the stall door.

  39. It’s all your fault, Gina Grad. I saw that you were a fan of this on Facebook and my curiousity got the better of me. Now I’m writing on some random website for no reason at all other than just because. facebook.com/petergenovese is my page that I stall at many times a day.
