B.G. Smith writes micro fiction exploring trauma, family dynamics, and moral ambiguity.
After 24 years in federal law enforcement, he retired in 2021 and turned his focus to writing. The same economy of language he used in reports—just the facts, no fluff—now serves a different purpose: reflection and connection.
His work has appeared in Pocket Fiction, Microfiction Monday Magazine, The Drabble, 101 Words, ScribesMICRO, Flash Phantoms, and over a dozen other publications. His first story was published in 2021, while still on the job.
Law enforcement taught him to see both the best and worst of people. His stories explore the darker themes he once avoided—trauma, loss, and the choices that define us. Through micro fiction, he processes what he saw and connects with readers who understand that the hardest experiences make the most important stories.
He lives in Philadelphia with his family, where he roots for the Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers—mostly with disappointment.
