      The universe is ending, ripping itself apart at the seams. It started almost imperceptibly, a few stars missing from the night sky. Gradually, it increased until entire galaxies had been swallowed whole. As for the people living there, well... There isn't much they can do to stop it... is there?

      The Big Rip
    • 2023

      A collection of poems inspired by the life experiences of the author. D.F. Gregory started writing poetry and short stories as a pastime in his early forties, and more so during the period that he was a family carer to his late mother who was suffering from Alzheimer's and cancer, which was at a moment in his life when he found more time to reflect and indulge in his interest of writing. He eventually decided to turn what had started as a pastime into something that he could publish to share with a larger audience. Some of the poems are inspired by emotion, his experience as a carer, and others are inspired by his love of history and human nature. His literary work continues.
