There is a particular kind of writer who cannot be contained. PrBeaudoin is that writer. His free stories website is not a genre silo but a carnival of voices—each tent offering something entirely different, each entrance promising a new kind of weather. He writes for young children with genuine gentleness. He writes for troubled teens with raw, unflinching honesty. He writes for adults across the full emotional spectrum: funny, tender, atmospheric, and horrifying. This is not a brand strategy. This is a writer who loves the act of storytelling more than he loves being one thing.
Milo's Big Forest Surprise is everything a children's story should be: gentle, patient, and suffused with small wonder. Milo the hedgehog loves his predictable morning routine—past the mossy log, around the old oak, down to the berry bush. "Nothing ever changes," he says with a happy sigh. Then one morning, a glowing blue egg appears in his path. Milo does not panic. He does not try to solve it. He simply sits beside it, keeps it warm, and hums a little song. This is a story about patience, about wonder, about the magic that arrives when you stop rushing. Perfect for bedtime, perfect for tiny humans learning that not everything needs to be fixed.

The Circuit Breaker is not comfortable reading. It is not supposed to be. Sofia feels the noise in her head as "a live wire sparking against her ribs." She pulls the lever—pills from her mom's cabinet, alcohol hidden under her bed, anything to make the room stop spinning. Jax, who survived his own darkness through fighting, does not offer easy solutions. He offers truth: "You're just hitting 'pause' on a movie that keeps getting scarier every time you hit 'play.'" The story ends not with a tidy resolution but with a hand reached out and the number 988—Canada's suicide prevention hotline. This is fiction as lifeline. For any teenager who has ever felt the walls close in, this story is a door.

The Moody Weather of L'Ardoise is a masterclass in finding joy in absurdity. Harold L'Ardoise wakes to fog so thick he cannot see his mailbox three feet away. Then the fog vanishes "like a magic trick." Then the sky turns "the color of an old bruise." Then rain arrives "with the subtlety of a freight train." Harold slides across his own wet grass "like he was stealing second base." His dog Red watches from the window with a look that clearly says "I told you so." By the fourth rain shower, Harold simply stands with arms spread wide, laughing at the absurdity. This is not a story about winning. It is a story about laughing while you lose. Pure Maritime sunshine wrapped in rain clouds.

The Storyteller of Nowhere in Particular may be the most generous thing Beaudoin has written. Walter Hemsley is a retired accountant who begins writing strange little tales about time travelers in waiting rooms and ghosts who haunt not out of anger, but because they are lonely. The rejections pile up. The fame never comes. But then a college student in Ohio writes: "Your story about the astronaut who finds a diner on the moon made me cry." A retired teacher in Wales writes: "You write like Ray Bradbury if he'd worked in an office his whole life." A few hundred genuine readers find him. Not thousands. Not millions. Enough. And for Walter, that is enough. This is a love letter to every writer who will never be famous, to every creator who creates because they cannot stop. It will break your heart and then gently tape it back together.

Bait Bucket opens with the wind coming off the harbor "like a hungry thing, rattling the tin sign until it sang a song of rust and regret." Inside The Salty Mermaid, the air is thick with brine, old tobacco, and the particular silence of men who have listened to the sea for too long. Nets hang from the ceiling. Glass floats cluster in corners "like forgotten eggs from some deep-sea creature." Every few minutes, when a strong gust strikes the building, they clink together "like nervous teeth chattering in the dark." No characters have even spoken yet, and already you are there. This is maritime noir at its finest—lean, evocative, and so textured you can taste the salt. The story barely begins before you are desperate to know what happens next.
Rating: ★★★★½
The Horrors of a Horror Writer is the door you open when you are ready to be unmade. Thirteen doors. Thirteen specific, intimate nightmares. The crib that rocks itself with a shape that "gurgles my maiden name." The mother's voice looping for three hundred days as the receiver melts into the ear. The Goodreads review that rewrites itself into "the author should have died instead of the dog." The father dying for the twelfth time, each time asking "who are you?" and responding "oh. I thought you'd be different." This is not genre horror about monsters under the bed. This is the horror of the creative life laid bare—the fear that you are a fraud, that no one is coming, that the fan knows where you live, that your tombstone will be a blank page. And yet: "I press my forehead to Door Thirteen. It is warm. A heartbeat behind the wood." She turns the knob anyway. Not because she is brave. Because the hall is shrinking. This is the most honest thing Beaudoin has ever written. Read it with both hands.

How does one writer produce a gentle hedgehog story, a raw addiction intervention, a funny weather romp, a tender retirement meditation, an atmospheric noir, and a devastating meta-horror piece—all available for free on the same website?
The answer is simple: PrBeaudoin writes for the enjoyment of everyone. Not the market. Not the algorithm. Not the genre silo. He writes what arrives, what demands to be written, what might help someone on the other side of the screen. The hedgehog story is for the child who needs to know the world is patient. The teen story is for the teenager who needs to know they are not alone. The weather story is for the adult who needs to laugh at absurdity. The tender story is for the creator who needs permission to keep going without fame. The noir is for the reader who wants to disappear into salt and shadow. The horror is for anyone who has ever felt the walls begin to chew.
This is not a writer serving a market. This is a writer serving stories. And the stories, in turn, serve us.
PrBeaudoin is not one writer. He is a chorus. His free stories website is a rare and generous gift—a place where young children can find wonder, troubled teens can find a lifeline, and adults can find laughter, tenderness, atmosphere, and terror, sometimes all in the same visit. There is no paywall. There is no algorithm. There is only a writer, a keyboard, and an apparently endless willingness to open the next door.

Dear Readers: I'm writing with an exciting and important update about my writing focus! I have made the decision to dedicate my full time and energy to completing the epic conclusion of The Shadows of Power Trilogy! To ensure I can deliver the final books in this series as quickly as possible and give them the attention they deserve, I will be pausing all other projects. This means I will not be writing any new short story books for children, teens or adults for the next few months.
All my published books links to Amazon below have the links to Amazon for purchasing.
Thank you for your incredible support over the years. Prbeaudoin.ca OR prbeaudoin.com.
