  1. The stall was small, dark, and cramped. The straw lining the bottom was covered in dark stains, although where they had come from was a mystery. other than from the hatchling, that was– it was going to be nigh-impossible to get the gryphon to trust her. That was starting to be obvious: after coming from a place like this, she couldn’t expect him to like humans, let alone trust them.

  2. horses, and barns…the smell of autumn and a cool breeze. ltos of flannel being worn with the scent of campfire lingering in the air. the scratch of hay tickeling your nose. the sun is setting in the distance and the day is coming to a close. sense of accomplishment and warmth inside.

  3. to stop or to think; to create a diversion; to wait while have a really important reason to wait; to use strategy to get someone to avoid discovering something. a diversionary tactic. rather annoying if you are the victim.

  4. Do you know why you stall?
    Bathrooms stalls, livestock stalls, stalling.
    Life is full of stalling.
    Stall, Stall, Stall. Oh no. The world has stopped.

  6. I walked into the stall and immediately saw it- “Justin was here”. I was transported to my 16-year-old self’s bedroom, reading my journal: “I heart Justin”. I occasionally still miss my old self, but then I realize how far I’ve come, and how many lessons I’ve learned since then.

  8. stop. don’t think about it. if you think about it then it’s real. if you stall you don’t have to talk to him. look the other way. he won’t notice you if you don’t let him. you want him to notice you. but you don’t. if he notices you that means you’ll have to feel again. don’t feel again

  11. I dashed through the building, looking for it. Why did it have to change constantly? I finally found the door and lunged through it, only to find it full of people.

    Why oh why oh why did it have to be this way? All of the stalls were full. Every last one of them.

    No horses for me today.

  13. i hate stalling, because it keeps me from all the wonderful things in the world. frigging horses come from stalls, and i think they make delicious pastries. is this really all their is to the universe? prompts, floating in space? i think not. i keep trying to not stall out, but i fall short. if i think i’m falling, i really, or is it all a dream?

  15. I will stall and not do my work. when I stall it is fun because I don’t have to do my work and get to do the things I want to do – however I don’t get my work done and it is all waiting for me when I done.

  21. Sometimes it takes me a minute to get on task, and sometimes it takes me a minute to decide NOT to be on task.

    Stalling’s good for you.

    But not for your car. Then, it kills.

    Especially in the middle of nowhere where your phone doesn’t work, and you don’t know anyway and you just know that you’re about to die, and be eaten by sasquatch and it just SUCKS.

  22. It took me awhile, but I was really getting in the groove of this procrastinating thing. I mean, how hard is it, really? Doing somehting you WANT to do instead of something you’re SUPPOSED to do?

    Sounds good to me!

    It’s not so much fun when it happens to your car, though. Really, it kind of sucks.

    Especially in the middle of nowhere. It’s a killer.
    Fortunately, I keep things like flashlights and sleeping bags and extra shoes in my trunk, so even though my car refused to star back up again, I was pretty okay.

  26. To stall. We do it everyday. We want to leave the things behind that are to use painful, boring and simply just not as important as other things. We can use stalling to get what we want too. We can stall when we are heading out of the classroom so we can get the chance to speak to the boy we want to connect with but don’t know how. To stall, we do it everyday.

  29. i hate it when i stall at a light when driving a stick shift. my kids think it’s hilarious, and when i do it they scream “embarrassing!!” they don’t really know why it’s embarrassing, but i’ve tried to explain it a couple of times and they think it’s pretty funny. i can vividly remember stalling as a 16 year old learning to drive a stick.

  32. As I look around, I look at everywhere except the page. Stalling the inevitable. Look, look, look. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
    I can’t keep on with this. I have to try someday. And maybe that day is today.

    Or not.?

  37. Stopping, pausing, second guessing yourself. What you do when you know you’re in trouble…delaying the inevitable. A bathroom, where you hide when you’re scared, or embarrassed or considering ending it all.

  40. stall I irst thought of a car stalling, eginner at trafic lights hige embarrassment fear of failure becase you satlled n your driving test. Then I though about a plane stalling which isn’t the same. It s when a wing is going so slowly it loses lift and therefore it drops causing the plane to start to spiral spin downwards. Used as an aerobatic trick and makes you very dizzy.
    Then there is the sort of stall that has an anilam in it. I imagie a row of contented horses each chewing hay with heads tied loosely at th backof the stall and all their tails hangin down as you look along the ro. The smell of the orses and of the leather n the tack room
