What if they could see all our actions and they could feel disappointment because we are slowly forgetting them?

Sinister by AbbyLynneWrites

Leighton Connors is losing her mind. Or at the very least, her memory. The last thing she remembers is witnessing the murder of her next door neighbor by a dark stranger covered in frost. But it's the middle of June and the police aren't ruling his death a homicide. Suddenly plagued with gaps in her memory and drawn to the sites of multiple murders, Leighton finds herself desperate to reveal the mystery of her past and to prevent more deaths in the future. But Leighton is entranced by the killer; a dark, brooding boy who can stop clocks and claims he's helping his victims, not hurting them. If Leighton doesn't find a way to stop the murders and piece her past back together, she may lose more than her sanity. She may lose her life.

What If We Drown ✓ by brianamaewrites

Ashlyn hasn't spoken a word since the age of eight, and her heart's never felt more protected. But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long... Derek Moreno is charming and devoted, and quick to see through every wall Ashlyn erects. With his arrival in town, defences fold and walls begin to crumble, the songs of her heart reaching new heights. Together, they crest twin tides of fate, the silence she'd once sought engulfed by his gentle touch, and the whispers of a love thought impossible. For the summer, Ashlyn welcomes the noise.

The Painting by colleyflowers

"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?

Damsel in the Dust by Rachelle_Rachelle_

Leah thought her life had been turned upside down when she ran off with the town bad boy to live at the edge of a dusty county road.

Leah thought she knew the answer, but now she isn't so sure. This is a story about the blindness of love and infatuation, about the kindness of friends, and the pain of facing truth and reality. **Blue Rose Awards February 2019 Winner in Romance**
